Arche. A and Apazon are two artists who have steadily carved their own paths in the music world, bringing their distinct styles and perspectives to the forefront. Ashley Bazuaye, known as Arche. A, is a UK-based Nigerian record producer and songwriter whose love for music started early with the piano and drums. This instrumental background shines through in his intricate, authentic productions. Arche. A has a knack for tailoring his sound to the artists he collaborates with, resulting in a dynamic range of music that continues to evolve. From the bold debut cypher “STFU, hating a**, n*ggas!” in 2020 to his more refined projects like the collaborative EP ‘Exertion’ with YGB and ‘AA+’ with Apazon, Arche. A’s work showcases a mastery of sound design. His LP ‘Sharpening Tools’ demonstrated this versatility, offering listeners a seamless sonic journey. Recent singles like “Jack & Jill” with Koyen, “OK!” with Apazon & DB, and “KOKO” with Ubin have only solidified his reputation as a producer with a pulse on the future of music.

On the other hand, Apazon brings his own distinct narrative to the table. The Nigerian-born rapper and singer is unafraid to explore a vast range of genres, from Hip-Hop and Afro to Rap and RnB. His breakout album ‘Nigerian Villain’ in 2020 introduced listeners to his world, reflecting his experiences as a Nigerian youth navigating life in the UK. Before that, his 2019 project ‘Memento Mori’ set the tone for his artistry, celebrating life while acknowledging its impermanence. Apazon’s music is deeply influenced by artists like Che Ecru, FrvrFriday, Ski Mask the Slump God, Nasty C, and Baby Keem. Collaborating with talents like Iberedem, Mixta Vitae, and SouthBabi has also shaped his sound, further fueling his creative output.

Their latest collaboration, “FOR THE EVENING,” is a testament to their chemistry and growth as artists. The track delves into the complexities of fleeting connections and the unresolved emotions that come with them. With a delicate balance of passion and independence, the song captures the push and pull of desire while acknowledging the weight of other priorities. Arche.
