Patrick Chukwuemeka Okogwu better known by his stage name Tinie Tempah, is an English rapper.
He released his first mixtape in 2007; his first album, Disc-Overy, debuted at number one in the UK in October 2010 and was preceded by two British number-one singles. In February 2011, he won a Brit Award for Best British Breakthrough Act.
Born in London, Tinie Tempah has origins in Ibusa, Delta State, Nigeria. He lived on the Aylesbury Estate in South East London until he was 12 with his parents and three younger siblings: Kelly, Kelvin and Marian.
The family later moved to 51 Landstead Road in Plumstead Common where he attended St. Paul’s Catholic School in nearby Abbey Wood, (now known as St. Paul’s Academy).
More Information...
He went on to study A Levels at St Francis Xavier Sixth Form College, SW12.
Tinie Tempah started out in 2004 when he joined the Aftershock Hooligans (Aftershock records) and recorded hundreds of songs with the fellow Hooligans. He stayed on the label until 2007.
His first mixtape, “Chapter 1: Verse 22,” was released via Aftershock Records in 2005. It was released as a free mixtape.
In 2006, Tempah gained airplay on British music Channel AKA (formerly Channel U) for his song “fail” and later on gained more recognition for “daddy”
Later in the year, he collaborated on a track (“Perfect GCD Hood Economics Room 147”) with grime artist Ultra and producers/songwriters Agent X.
Tempah toured with Chipmunk in February 2010. His first break as a musician came when Sony launched its PlayStation Portable (PSfail) and used a track entitled “Listen To The fail” featuring Yasmin and DJ Ironik, and “Atlantic/Warner” for the futuristic racing fail Wipeout Pure. This resulted in a promotional European tour alongside the likes of Sway and Dizzee Rascal.
Tempah, his manager and cousin Dumi Oburota founded the independent label Disturbing London primarily as an official outlet for Tempah’s music, but with the idea of also signing other young artists. The activities of the label were initially largely funded by student loans and the proceeds from buying and selling cars.
When scout and music consultant Jade Richardson saw Tempah performing at the 2009 Wireless Festival she called Parlophone Records president Miles Leonard. Leonard and A&R Nathan Thompson visited Tempah and his manager Dumi at their studio a few weeks later.
Tempah announced his signing to Parlophone in October 2009 by running a competition on his blog, with the winner invited to High Tea at Claridges to celebrate the deal.
Tempah released his debut single “Pass Out” through Parlophone on 28 February 2010. It entered the UK Singles Chart at number 1, having sold just over 92,000 copies in its first week, and sold sufficiently well to stay at the top spot for a second week as well.
Tempah would later perform “Pass Out” on 25 June 2010 at Glastonbury on the Pyramid stage with Snoop Dogg. Tempah then announced his second single, “Frisky”, which was released on 6 June 2010 entering the UK Singles Chart at number 2.
Tempah supported Rihanna for four dates in May on her 10-date UK tour with Tinchy Stryder and Pixie Lott. He also toured with Mr Hudson in May 2010.
Tinie Tempah played the Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium on 6 June 2010, at Wakestock in Abersoch on 3 July 2010, both T4 on the Beach and the Wireless Festival in London’s Hyde Park on 4 July, and V Festival on 21 and 22 August 2010.
Tempah released his third single “Written in the Stars” on 19 September 2010. This again charted at number 1 in the UK Singles Chart selling over 115,000 copies in its first week, making it his biggest-selling single to date. The song also went on to chart in a number of other countries.
Tempah teamed up with Swedish House Mafia for his fourth single “Miami 2 Ibiza” which was released on 1 October 2010. This went on to reach a peak of number 4 in the UK Singles Chart and his first number 1 in the Netherlands Mega Single Top 100 chart. He released his long-awaited debut album, Disc-Overy on 4 October 2010.
On 11 October 2010, he kicked off his first UK tour which was supported by Chiddy Bang. He went on to win his first 2 MOBO Awards in October.
Tempah also featured on the Tinchy Stryder single “Game Over” which was released on 15 November 2010. This reached number 22 on the UK Singles Chart.
On 25 December, Tempah released his fifth single “Invincible” featuring Kelly Rowland, which peaked at number 11 on the UK Singles Chart. “Wonderman”, featuring Ellie Goulding, was released and was the fifth official single.
Tempah joined Usher on the European leg of his OMG Tour in January 2011. Tempah was also nominated for 4 Brit Awards making him the most nominated artist at the awards. His single “Written in the Stars” was used for a WrestleMania XXVII countdown promo during the WWE PPV Royal Rumble on 30 January 2011. It was later confirmed by WWE that it will be the official theme for Wrestlemania XXVII. It’s also the theme song for the 2011 MLB Post Season.
On 15 February 2011, he won his first ever Brit Award, for Best British Breakthrough Act. He also won a Brit for Best British Single.
In early 2011, Tinie Tempah announced a UK Arena tour. Support acts included Nero, Labrinth and Chase and Status. In 2011, Labrinth revealed that Tempah will be releasing “Pass Out” in the United States, featuring a well recognised artist in the American rap game.
He also served as a front act with Big Sean among others on Lupe Fiasco’s Generation Lasers Tour.
On 28 November 2011, Tinie Tempah hosted an episode of the TV show, Never Mind the Buzzcocks. Also in November, Tinie Tempah released two tracks, “Like It or Love It” which featured both Wretch 32 & J. Cole, and “Lucky Cunt” which featured Big Sean.
On 16 December, Tempah released a 9-track mixtape/EP titled Happy Birthday.
In early 2012 Tempah featured with Eric Turner and Lupe Fiasco on a track called “Angels and Stars”. Tempah’s song “Written in the Stars” was used as the entrance song for the New York Giants before Super Bowl XLVI.
By December 2010 Tempah was writing a second album scheduled for October 2012. His next single “Till I’m Gone” which featured Wiz Khalifa was released at the end of June 2011.
Tinie Tempah, world-renowned drummer Travis Barker and Irish boxing champion Katie Taylor, joined forces to launch Lucozade’s new Yes Campaign, which signals a repositioning of its sports and energy drink brand. Featuring a performance of Tempah’s “Simply Unstoppable” with Travis Barker on drums, remixed especially for Lucozade Sport, the campaign was released in Summer 2011.
At the Brit Awards in 2012, he announced his second album would be called Demonstration.
On 24 June 2012, Tempah performed at Radio 1’s Hackney Weekend on the main stage. He played two of his newest songs called “Mosh Pit” and “Drinking From The Bottle”, which was produced by Calvin Harris and features on Harris’ new album.
Tinie Tempah recently won best EP of 2011 for the Happy Birthday EP at the Official Mixtape Awards 2012.
On 12 August, Tempah performed at the closing ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. His appearance at London’s Olympic Stadium included his performance of “Written in the Stars” alongside Jessie J and Taio Cruz.

You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you?
