ABOUT CHEIKH
Here's introducing emerging London-based Senegalese American Hip-Hop artist CHEIKH - real name
Brandon Deme. Cheikh began rapping at the age of 17 after discovering his lyrical dexterities during impromptu freestyle battles with friends at High School and soon after, fun school yard rap battles among his peers quickly turned into a career path for the young emcee.
Fortunate to live in many different countries in his formative years before finally settling in the UK as a teenager, Cheikh has been blessed with experiences of witnessing and immersing himself in different styles and genres of music - which coupled with his own newly found musical abilities convinced Cheikh to take music more seriously and hone his craft further as a Hip-Hop artist.
After showing much promise as a new and emerging artist, Cheikh gained a valuable mentor in the much revered Head of A&R and
Director of
Music of Disturbing London Records, Richie Montana. The guidance and mentorship from Montana - who is a key element in the development and success of one of Britian's most successful Hip-Hop artists,
Tinie Tempah - has enabled Cheikh to be able to successfully sharpen his craft and develop his skills at an astounding pace over the last three years.
Citing his musical style as "cool, smart and uplifting", Cheikh credits a variety of musical influences - from
Chaka Khan to
Lauryn Hill to Tupac and
Kanye West - for the evolution of his unique style. Having been raised on the ethics of hard work and determination, Cheikh believes that anything is possible but that when we feel the impossible is near, then we must "pray until something happens".
This belief and ethic as well as the conviction to take what was once a playgrpund pastime and turn it into a story worth telling was the inspiration for Cheikh's debut mixtape titled P.U.S.H (Pray Until Something Happens). Released in August 2011 to much critical and fan acclaim, Cheikh's debut mixtape led to several gigs and performances all over London including performances at One Mic UK and Redd Room which further built up his fanbase.
His sophomore mixtape, aptly titled Progession was released in April 2012 and as the name suggests, the artist development and "progression" that Cheikh showcases on this new record is evident for all to see. As you listen to Progression and its soothing and uplifting undertone, you cannot help but notice and applaud the successful transition that Cheikh has made over the better part of the three years in which he began rapping and writing songs.
