Since the age of 16, Uness’ unlimited creative potential has taken him to the four corners of the world, earning him praise and attention from many industry leading executives, producers, and artists.

In 2006, Uness signed a production/artist deal with super-producer Ryan Leslie's NextSelection Lifestyle Group as a songwriter/producer/artist. Since then, Uness has written and produced hits such as “Woman Got Culture,” “Over,” “Taste Your Heartbeat,” “What’s the Matter?,” “Intimate,” “Not with You” (Cassie) and the list goes on…

Alongside his many hits, Uness has released numerous mixtapes including hosting and featuring on “The Future of R&B Vol.12” with New York’s own TapeMasters Inc. in 2007. Two years later, Uness released his official mixtape series called “The Seeker,” which became one of his most applauded solo projects to date.

While on his journey, Uness has performed for fans around the world including the USA, Canada, Germany, France, Switzerland, Dubai and Morocco. Whether singing on his acoustic guitar in an intimate setting or making timeless records in his personal studio, Uness has always known how to touch his listeners by means of the universal language of music.

In addition to his solo career, Uness began a new cultural movement inspired by the struggle of oppressed youths around the world. Uness made the attempt to offer them a non-violent medium of expression by creating Crime in the City (CIC) (summer 2008) – a community-oriented artist collective designed to provide young aspiring artists with a creative environment.

Presently, Uness and Crime in the City have been making records and developing projects with local Montreal acts such as Dj iZ, K-R!M, Mc Paesano, CeasRock and Tadeeo, and is always in search of new, talented, and open-minded collaborators.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh yeah alright, Uh weil alrriiight

(Would you love me)

Its a celebration clap clap bravo lobster and shrimp
and a glass of mescado for the girl who's a student
and her friend whos a model

Finish the whole bottle and we gonna do it big like this
Yeah and he was just practice,
he aint in your world you could take him off your atlas
Girl your on fire can i be the one you match with,
i'll give you a credit card and baby you could max this out
Show me where your tats is show me where your hands
at maybe i could grasp it
They say if you get em then you could understand them better
And she known to be a cheater but that only if you let her
yeah

And I got it together
So when they talking trash they tryna turn me but its like whatever
tell em i appreciate the help
but i just gotta know for myself

would you love me if i couldn't sing songs,
if i couldn't take you home
would you love me if i couldn't buy you things,
shoes and diamond rings
would you love me if i spent my life,
with the same 9 to 5
would you love me if i couldn't give it all to you (you)

would you love me if i didn't say
baby you're looking fly today
would you love me if we can't break away,

now would you love me, i say maybe
if it goes wrong, would you stay or would you go
Would You Love Me

This life style is filed this shit will damage ya
Especially when you think no ones understandin ya
These girl groups with they over protective managers
Got papparazzi over my shouldas clickin they cameras
Snap snap snap until they runnin outta card space
Remind me of tony's sister in scarface
Just take it easy on love and slow ya heart rate
Goodness gracious the top is just such a hard place
Yeah, but if you never even been there
It kinda makes sense why you dyin to pretend there
Spillin all your drinks and takin pictures in your swimwear
Head up in the clouds you survivin on the thin air

You know the stakes are costin girl
And maybe you dont need the help
But I just wanna see to it for myself

(Would You Love Me)
Oh would you love me, i say maybe
If it goes wrong would you leave me
Would you love me, i say maybe
If it goes wrong, would you stay or go

Baby.. everybody loves a summer day
(Everybody loves a summer day)
But can you trade the sun for just a rainy day
(Just a rainy day)
In the darkest hours love will find its way

Oh would you love me, i say maybe
If things goes wrong would you leave me

Would you love me, i say maybe
If it goes wrong, would you stay or go
