Born Victor Tareware Kpoudosu and
popularly known as VTEK. VTEK first
launched his musical career professionally few years back as a
producer/artiste. He started with a three male hip hop group made up of his
senior brother “The Myth” who is a Video Director and Special Effects
Supervisor, childhood friend Emmanuel known as Nuel. Together, they were called
M.V.E.
Their first single “SEARCH” was
spotlighted on billboard charts that year with massive airplay on over 400 web
radio stations. VTEK’s solo effort “Swagger & Doe” recorded a major success
in the US and across Europe again with spotlight feature on World Top 40 Charts
and top 20 new hip hop singles on Power 105.1 fm, New York Radio with reviewed
on notjustok.com and couple of other Nigerian websites. The Nigerian music
industry then was flooded with a major style called “Tile tile” which make it difficult
to get much buzz in Nigeria like it does outside Nigeria.
VTEK drop a 14-track free mix tape
titled VTEK 1st Impression with over a 100,000 downloads within weeks which
brought the name VTEK back into the limelight.
He also has been linked with American
Rapper Rick Ross’s record label Maybach Music Group and P-Square’s Square
Ville.
Working as the new official P-Square’s
producer/engineer with credits on all their recent releases from “Magical
Healing”, “Unlimited” & co-production on the hit song “Personally”, earning
him major following.
He showed many what he can on the “Bad
Guy Baller” collaboration with DJ Vinnie, Mode 9 and Eedris Abdulkareem before
his recent feature on Eedris Abdulkareem’s new controversial single “I Go Whooz
U”, which placed him on worldwide spotlight as the video trended for two days
on twitter and many blogs thus pushing the person of VTEK farther into the
limelight.
The words on the streets and across the
social media are “Who is VTEK?” My word
is VTEK is the next rated star we should all be on the lookout for. New
official single "Spotlight" feat Capital F.E.M.I of Kennis Music
International dropping soon.
