2Scarce: One Treasure That Has Been Mostly Devalued Over The Decade Is The Importance

One treasure that has been mostly devalued over the decade is the  importance of how we treat each other. 2SCARCE Born Austin Udochukwu Nkwocha is an eclectic super-talented Nigerian artiste. He is unfalteringly focused on making his mark in the music world.

One thing he quotes regularly is that “Music here in Nigeria is bigger than, oil, diamonds, and gold”. “The one thing we devalue the most is the importance of how we treat each other.”  2SCARCE’s melodic voice is soulful and soothing.

 His energetic stage appeal, is a force to be reckoned with during his live performances. 2SCARCE has a highly impressive repertoire that cuts across the contemporary music spectrum, He stands-out, resisting the odds and overcoming them with guts and gusto, knowing that his place on the success-landscape depends on how much and how well he learned from every challenge he encountered growing up in Lagos Nigeria and how his people respond to him respectfully.

2SCARCE’s first love is Reggae Music his 2nd is Afro beat. He raised himself to the clement and captivating heights of competence in the Roots and Dancehall sub-genres by listening to the legendary Majek Fashek, the legendary Ras Kimono, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Sizzla Kalonji, and Buju Banton. Afrobeat is home for him.

The Legendary Fela Anikulapo Kuti, The renowned originator of Afrobeat Music, left positive impressions and indelible memories in the hearts of many Nigerians.  One of such was a young aspiring and relentless 2SCARCE!

Afro beat’s presence in 2SCARCEs’ repertoire is a sweet blend of club and consciousness.

His connection to the genre does not deviate from late Fela’s social commentary norm. It comes with the spirit of party and profoundness to soul and  sapience. It visits informed commentary on matters prevalent and on matters arising in the complexities and in the transitions of besieged Nigerian society.

2SCARCE speaks 6 languages: English; Igbo, Yoruba, Pidgin English, Hausa and Jamaican Patois.  He is an amiable Nigerian and a hearty African ever willing to know and learn more in order to stay relevant to his dream.

At the tender age of 5, 2SCARCE feel deep in love with music by the soul-lifting influence of the Catholic Church choir of the Lagos community where he lived with his parents. Also at a tender age, 2SCARCE connected well-enough with poetry, in which he gradually built his enthralling skill in the art of writing.

2SCARCE taught himself to play the guitar. He always withdrew from ‘the crowd’ to train his fingers on the strings, making himself scarce among his peers at play. The name: ‘2SCARCE’ was born from this important experience. Immersed in the exceptional consciousness of Reggae Music, 2SCARCEs’ view and understanding of the world changed in ways revolutionary.

 The daily hard struggles of the Nigerian existence no longer met his eyes as mere scenes of daily-bread-seeking citizens, but as pathetic dramas of deprived and overlooked Africans running clueless about the real issues (historical and contemporary) that underpin their ‘artificial’ tribulation.

2SCARCE has held performances across Nigeria, The Gambia and at the highly acclaimed Daniel Sorano Theatre in Dakar, Senegal. He became extremely popular in Gambia when he spent almost a year there with his manager working on social development projects to feed the Gambian people through a garden community project with .

2SCARCE is competent lyrically. His quintessential iconoclastic use of his energetic  stage performance will mesmerize audiences around the world. “DESPERATE JOURNEY” will be released either later in the year of 2021 or the beginning of 2022 with 2SCARCE.
