Uggish began his musical journey as one half of Bi-Polar Bear.  Over the span of a decade the group released three albums, traveled the country headlining legendary venues like the Mercury Lounge NYC, topped college radio charts, broadcasted live performances on stations such as Radio K Minneapolis and shared stages with countless rappers from underground successes such as Brother Ali to mainstream legends like Snoop Dogg.  Their albums were released by Brooklyn based Indie label Modern Shark and garnered additional support from Sage Francis’ led Strange Famous Records.  It was a wonderful experience with an incredible friend (August).  In 2015, after Bi-Polar Bear’s third album, Uggish stepped away from music.  He left in pursuit of a doctorate in Chinese Medicine.  His journey away from music and into the world of acupuncturists, herbalists, and unmatched compassion brought beautiful new perspectives.  In 2020, five years removed from his last studio appearance, Uggish woke up and felt compelled once again to make music.  He made some new beats (they were really really good), said some new raps (they sounded really really dope), and recorded the self-produced/written/recorded debut solo album “…and Now to Learn to Fish”.  He surely hopes you do enjoy his return 🙂 .
