UPZ Once Again Drop It For Us

Join Indinga Creatives Agency

This year is a milestone in that it marks UPZ’s 10th anniversary. UPZ’s 2007 self titled debut (Japan, Rambling Records) featured his breakout single “Pure Surprise” which secured him a no.1 hit in South African in 2009. In 2012 UPZ’s album “Pioneers of House: UPZ” (Soul Candi) included production collaborations with Black Coffee, Black Motion & Qness. Support for UPZ productions have poured in from leading DJs including Fresh, Euphonic, Vinny Da Vinci, Black Coffee, Louis Vega & DJ Kent and his releases have graced powerhouse labels Defected, Strictly Rhythms and Objektivity.

Born in Tel Aviv, UPZ moved to Nairobi, Kenya with his family at the age of five and two years later relocated to South Africa. After graduating from WITS, he decided to pursue his passion for music upon moving back to Tel Aviv, Israel. Africa, however, continuously beckoned and UPZ returned to SA in 2014 & currently resides in Johannesburg. “This album has been over two years in the making” says UPZ of Drop It “ I feel truly happy with the direction the album has taken and was honoured to have worked with some great artists, songwriters and vocalists in it’s formation.”
