TALENTED musician, singer and songwriter, Bright Ukpabi, better known as Mr. Dutch, has had a fair share in the entertainment industry since 2017 when he made his first major release titled ‘ Carry Go, featuring Yung O.G among others.
As a follow up to his first official single since he gained prominence in the industry, Dutch is out with another smashing hot single titled ‘ E No Finish’ featuring Burna Boy. The new song is produced by KEL-P
As a passionate singer/songwriter, Mr. Dutch’s goal is to create sounds that come from deep inside of him, he believes music is the art of creativity, the art of sending out a message and expressing oneself.
At the age of seven, Dutch started off as a drummer for a local church. At the age of 14, he recorded his first song, released around 2003 and it was in a group called ‘Basket Boys’ in Benue State, Nigeria. The group’s name later changed to ‘Three Tribes.’ at that time there was no sponsor or a record deal to finance the music; which resulted to a split of the group. Mr. Dutch later moved to Owerri Imo State in 2006 to study.
Inclined to live music trends and ready to deliver his best at every live performance, Dutch believes live performance goes with the reaction of the audience. “So, as an artiste, you need to present yourself in a way that the people will want to listen to what you have to give to them,” said Dutch who relocated to Cape Town, South Africa in 2013.
