Binding to Object Property in ViewModel issue

Not sure why this isn't working... Below I is my ViewModel which is set to my View DataContext.

public class UploadViewModel : CrudVMBase
    {
        #region Commands
        public CommandVM UploadButtonCommand { get; set; } =
            new CommandVM
            {
                CommandDisplay = "Perform Upload",
                IconGeometry = App.Current.Resources["pencil30"] as Geometry,
                Message = new CommandMessage { Command = CommandType.UploadFromCamera }
            };
        #endregion End Commands

        #region Public Properties
        UploadInitiation UploadObject { get; set; } = new UploadInitiation();
        #endregion End Public Properties

        public UploadViewModel()
        {

        }

Below is the UploadInitiation class

public class UploadInitiation : Common.NotifyUIBase
    {
        #region Public Properties
            public ObservableCollection<UploadStep> Steps { get; set; } = new ObservableCollection<UploadStep>();
            public int UploadProgress { get; set; } = 45;
            public string UploadTask { get; set; } = "Idle...";
            public bool UploadEnabled { get; set; } = false;
            public bool UploadBegin { get; set; } = false;
        #endregion END Public Properties

        public UploadInitiation()
        {
            // Populate steps required, ensure upload returns UI updates
            Steps.Add(new UploadStep { Message = "Seperate upload to new thread...", Complete = false, Error = null });
            Steps.Add(new UploadStep { Message = "Generate new file names...", Complete = false, Error = null });
            Steps.Add(new UploadStep { Message = "Render Thumbnails, add to database...", Complete = false, Error = null });
            Steps.Add(new UploadStep { Message = "Move images ready for print...", Complete = false, Error = null });
        }
    }

This is my Binding, as you can see im trying to Bind to the UploadProgress Property.

<ProgressBar Style="{StaticResource CircularProgress}" Width="180" Value="{Binding UploadObject.UploadProgress}" />

Here is the error

System.Windows.Data Error: 40 : BindingExpression path error: 'UploadObject' property not found on 'object' ''UploadViewModel' (HashCode=33902366)'. BindingExpression:Path=UploadObject.UploadProgress; DataItem='UploadViewModel' (HashCode=33902366); target element is 'ProgressBar' (Name=''); target property is 'Value' (type 'Double')

You need to make declare the scope of the property to public, or it will be private by default. Hence it was not visible when binding.

public UploadInitiation UploadObject { get; set; } = new UploadInitiation();
