Nigerian artiste Chinedu Emmanuel Opute a. k .a 'NPZ' was born into a musically talented family in the city of Lagos, Nigeria. He is the leading Afrodance artiste of a generation of musicians that emerged following the absence of modern Nigerian music since the passing of the late great Afrobeat pioneer, Fela Kuti.
NPZ has effectively been involved with music since he discovered his talent at the tender age of fourteen (14), beginning with stints at junior high - Babcock University High School - where he joined an Acapella group - 'The N.E.X.T'. His professional career as an artiste began in 2009, upon his return to Nigeria from the United Kingdom where he obtained an undergraduate degree in Business Marketing and Information Technology at Stone Bridge College.
Inspired by artistes such as Fela Kuti, 2face, Michael Jackson and R. Kelly whose songs are based on their experiences, he penned lyrics that focused on the socio-cultural issues he had absorbed and began performing them at open-mic events, which to his astonishment were well received. Renowned as a versatile artiste whose music is a fusion of influences ranging from r'n'b to reggae to dance; NPZ's vocal abilities which include falsettos stunned his audiences, peers and family, who encouraged him to follow his dreams. He copped the name NPZ and finally surrendered to his gift.
