Funkè (Uniekgrace) Ojo-Emessiri, born in Ondo State, Nigeria on the 2nd of June 1982 is a Christian Urban-Soul-RnB-Contemporary musician as well as a songwriter.
She grew up in different parts of the world namely Nigeria, Italy, Switzerland, Angola, North America and lastly, Belgium where she now resides with her husband and two daughters. This made up a large impact on the music she produces.
From a young age she always had a love for poetry and a way with rhyming, which eventually became a big influence in her song writing ability.
Her step into the singing world began at the age of 16 when she renewed her faith, taking her relationship with God seriously. She joined her home church gospel choir then, Jesus House Baltimore in Maryland, singing as part of the Alto voice group.
That same year, she and her friends decided to form a gospel choir in their school, Lancaster Mennonite High School in Pennsylvania. They were much welcomed into the community that was acquainted with very little urban-gospel music. They were invited to different churches and events which encouraged young Uniekgrace to really consider becoming a performing artist someday. Not making that a priority however, she was determined to be a honor student throughout her high school years and eventually college and University.
In 2006 she underwent a series of vocal training under the coaching of Ms. Kitra Williams, former lead of Oprah Winfrey's "The Color Purple" and Tyler Perry's "Diary Of A Mad Black Woman." This helped Uniekgrace understand more about the art of singing.
Uniekgrace got married in 2007 in Glendale Arizona and moved first to Niagara Falls NY, and then to Belgium with her husband to begin raising a family.
After achieving a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing between the years 2010-2013, she picked up her desire to be a performing music artist.
Her first single, “Jesus is Real” with Soulstar music production was launched in 2012, and that was when she began performing at different events in Belgium and England.
In September 2013 she collaborated with a celebrity Belgian rapper in her community, Legendaire Emjy for a song on his album Memoires called “So Fast.”
In April 2014 she collaborated with an English rapper, Joshua Ayeh for a song on his MAXI Back to Basics, called “Separate Ways.”
In the same year of 2014, June, she released “Let Your Will” a MAXI with Selstudio and NLS (New Life Studio) which also included Jesus is Real as well as a new track, I’m a Survivor.
“Let Your Will” is the track that got her featured on different Social media sites and other internet sites such as African Voices, a CNN show that sheds light on African talents, Gospel TV Emmision based in Belgium, Gracemusic, and iRoking, Nigeria’s largest music platform.
