For Canadian artist Nathan Oguchi, better known as N8, music has never been just a hobby — it’s been a lifelong passion. Growing up, freestyling was second nature, and his first real taste of artistry came on his 8th birthday when his mother took him to a studio in Nigeria. The result was his very first track, “Shortie” under the name “the other Gucci” — a song that still lives on SoundCloud today as a reminder of where his journey began.
Since then, N8 has been carving out a space for himself in the Alt Rap, Hip-Hop, and R&B scene. He’s already performed at four club events, three underground shows, and even a hometown festival, proving his ability to bring his energy to the stage while connecting with diverse audiences.
But for N8, the mission is bigger than just music — it’s about becoming the best version of himself while cutting out distractions that hold him back. “Cutting people off that don’t have a drive for anything holds you back a lot more than you realize,” he says, emphasizing his commitment to growth and focus.
With a foundation built on authenticity, versatility, and resilience, N8 is setting his sights on greatness. As he continues to evolve, his story serves as inspiration to artists and fans alike: chase your dreams relentlessly, and never let anything — or anyone — stand in your way.
