About MARCUS APEKS

Marcus Apeks is a Kenyan rapper, singer and producer whose YouTube channel posts official music videos, audio-only tracks and EP releases. Uploads are infrequent, about eleven videos in the past year, and most songs are in English with some Swahili. Viewers are estimated to be mostly young adults in Kenya, based on channel data rather than verified audience reporting.

The channel has about 3,500 subscribers and a median of 87 views per video. Shorts make up only 4 percent of uploads, so the content is primarily long-form music. The channel shows no sponsorship history in its recent videos and no brand work is listed on the channel.

Rates are estimated at $150 to $250 per video. Using a $20 to $35 CPM on median views, this is well above the $10 typical for paid ads, so brands should book him for community-level music reach rather than broad awareness. Music-focused brands targeting East African audiences are the best fit.
