Guchi: I used to work in an ice cream store

Guchi has recounted her humble beginnings before her breakthrough in the music scene.

The fast-rising singer, in a recent interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, recalled how she worked in an ice cream store to fend for her family.

The fast-rising singer said her boss became “my destiny helper” after he inadvertently heard her singing while working.

“I used to work in an ice cream store. I didn’t want to sit down and say I have a passion for music and wait for Don Jazzy to come and sign me in my house. I had to feed my siblings and my mother,” she said.

“This particular day, I was at the back, singing and preparing the ice cream so I could pour it inside the machine then my boss walked in and asked who was singing, and they all screamed Guchi.

“So he said, I like your boldness and then put his hand in his pocket. I thought he was about to give me a tip I would use to go home that day but he brought out a card.

“I felt so disappointed. I didn’t know that was my destiny helper.”

Born Ugochi Lydia Onuoha, Guchi became known in the music scene after her 2021 singer ‘Jennifer’ garnered massive attention.

She has released numerous hit songs including ‘Blood Tonic’, ‘All Over You’ and ‘Notice Me’.

Although her family is from Mbaise in Imo, Guchi was born in Kaduna. She, however, grew up in Abuja.
