Patrick Junior C. Okogwu (November 7th, 1988), better known by his stage name, Tinie Tempah, is a rapper and MC from Plumstead, South London. Tinie's first music video for promotional single ‘Wifey’, became an underground smash hit holding the Channel U urban chart top spot for 10 consecutive weeks in 2006.
