Career[edit]

Besides conventional mainstream marketing channels, Uniquegodx utilized social media as an important marketing tool.

Which featured samples from famous internet clips and from the late rapper Jahseh Dwayne Ricardo Onfroy XXXTentacion.

The diversity in his music comes from his taste in music and his influences which includes Kurt Cobain, who he cited as his biggest inspiration, The Weeknd, Tupac Shakur, Cage the Elephant, The Fray, Papa Roach, Blue Hearts, Skrillex, Three Days Grace, Gorillaz, and Coldplay. When speaking on his influencers, Uniquegodx said, "I'm really into every genre, I listen to everything, i just don't stop". Uniquegodx's vocal style has been described as fine-tuned, displaying "emotional vulnerability" on some tracks and replicating screaming and much more aggression on other tracks.[4] His lyrics are described as versatile, focusing on matters of interest to him and the Somali community. Although most Somali artists sing in the Somali language for a primarily Somali listening base, Uniquegodx chose to release songs in both English and Somali language in order to reach a broader, international audience.[2]
