Journey
Richie Marvin Chieme Akuba, known as Morachi, stands at the intersection of cultural fusion and musical innovation. Born in the bustling city of Lagos, Nigeria, and raised in its vibrant streets and southeastern landscapes, Morachi began his artistic journey in 2000 when he captured local charts with "All About Mo." His distinctive flair emerged in 2007 with "Hapuya Lyke Dat," a single whose accompanying video became a mainstay on MTV Base Africa, marking his entry into the musical spotlight.
Morachi's debut album, "The Proof," carved a niche for him as a versatile artist capable of navigating rap, Afrobeats, and Afropop. Subsequent projects like "Eagle 1" (2020) and "Selah" (2022) unveiled a more introspective side, marked by rich, emotive storytelling that resonated with a global audience. After a hiatus, his 2023 releases "Sarafina" and "Hook-Up" reflected a maturity in sound, seamlessly interweaving Afrobeats and R&B with themes of love and resilience.
Residing in Atlanta, Morachi continues to push artistic boundaries, known for his compelling stage presence and bold fashion statements. He remains committed to a path that honors his Nigerian roots while embracing a broad international perspective, crafting music that crosses borders and connects diverse audiences.
