Nkechi is lead vocalist and principle songwriter of the newly established band NKECHI LIVE!, a performance platform for her musical works in progress. Over time working with several producers and musicians she has evolved an exotic and alternative blend of dynamic soul, world folk, and ambient rock! Driving hypnotic rhythms and NKECHI's spacially placed melodies, vocals, and lyrics are what gives NKECHI LIVE! a unique sound.  NKECHI calls this new evolution of her music Organic Soul & Rock!  Once you hear and feel NKECHI LIVE!, you'll get to decide what to call it as you'll hear a bit of everything. NKECHI's voice expresses an "out of the box" genre, where hints of Seal, Erykah Badu, Norah Jones, Sade, and even Madonna guarantee them mainstream placement upon the release of her first album.
