Click for a more detailed music bio for NKECHI NKECHI is Organic Soul for the Spirit... "... I am a performance artist first and foremost. I really do love a Live! audience. Something happens when I am on stage performing, whether it is a flurry of freestyle lyrics that will be used for a later song or synchronous inspired movements that make the song. This process I am told, should one day be captured and offered back to you! So away to the studio I go. It has been a slow and steady process to find the team of people who see what I do as a GIFT! So as God would have it, these people surely are appearing! Yayy for the supporters to the creatives out there. Presently, I strive to express and use these gifts to the best of my ability for God's glory, so I am honing my skill set! I have been prompted to consider strengthening my percussion and musicianship skills. So be it :-) Live Improvisational songs, Yes! So... I am anxiously awaiting the packaging of the essence of me, as well. Stay tuned..." |

NKECHI's STAGE and SCREEN BIO NKECHI (pronounced nnn-KAY-chee) has creatively expressed herself in many ways over time, as a fashion model, to the face in commercials, to lead roles in film. NKECHI's first real job was as an engineer for a leading semi-conductor computer chip manufacturer. Meanwhile, her heart and soul have always been in the development and pursuit of her creative talents. NKECHI started in the entertainment industry as a Bay Area model and then was thrust to national recognition through commercials after taking a few on-camera workshops. Yet, it was not until studying Meisner technique with Rachael Adler that she truly caught the acting bug. After a stint in LA and later fine tuning and coaching from Joe Mazza, NKECHI has quickly added lead roles in independent films to her talent resume. Since leaving engineering NKECHI has discovered that she is a multi-talented performer: professional actress and improvisor, singer-songwriter and poet, live vocalist and performance artist, spokesperson and model to name a few! Whew! For the past year she has been an improvising with the Sketch Comedy/Improv troupe Oui Be Negroes. Most recently NKECHI has emerged into the San Francisco music scene, bright-eyed and naïve with guitar, as a pure performance artist. With Erykah Badu sass, the rich vocal textures of Sade and Seal, and a Madonna-like capacity for ever-evolving style, NKECHI is truly a one-of-a-kind all aorund entertainer.
