Star UTG

Denzel Townson better known as Star UTG
launched his music career in 2002 when he was 13 years old. His earliest
musical influence started when he listened to Ludacris’ Back for the
First Time album. He played the CD over and over again until he learned
every song. Though his primary love is for rap music, he absorbed music
from all genres. Thanks to his mother, he listened to The Whispers and
Earth Wind & Fire. He started his career back in 2002 after a trip
from visiting his brother in Colorado. A friend of his brother’s was an
artist and going to the studio on a regular basis. That not only piqued
his interests, he also heard the friend’s music and felt he could do a
lot better. At first he did it for fun but when people heard his lyrics,
they liked his talents encouraged him to pursue it seriously. Superstar
then turned Star joined group after group then found the group UTG
(Untouchable Greatness) with two other group members but when the other
two left to follow their own interests, he continued to pursue his solo
music career as UTG. Having his own studio gives Star UTG a great
advantage in pursuing his career by recording daily and allowing his
friends to come in and record as well. Many of his favorite artists
include Ludacris, Lil Wayne, Drake, Nicki Minaj, Big Sean, and Kendrick
Lamar. Currently, he’s learning more about the business and industry. In
2017, Star UTG won "Song of the Year" at a local awards show, The Remix
Awards for the song Drink Tonight.  “I don't wanna be famous,” he said
about his goals. “I wanna be known. My goal is to get everyone to rock
with me and actually listen to good music. I try to have something for
every type of person to vibe to.” Star UTG offers this advice for those
new to the music industry or those struggling to find their niche. “For
everyone that's new to the game or kind of struggling, just stay focused
and dedicated. Don't worry about people disliking your songs. As long
as you like them. They could be jealous or try to take you off your
game. Don't worry about them, it’s all about you”
