NKECHI's MUSIC BIO
NKECHI (pronounced nnn-KAY-chee), has made an immense contribution to the entertainment industry in many ways over time. She has been blessed with the opportunity to be everything from a fashion model, to the face you see in commercials, to playing the lead roles in film. NKECHI has also expressed her creativity through her vocals and song-writing ability. Although, she has had this talent her whole life, she only recently acknowledged this gift. “Out of the blue, lyrics and melodies come to me. Now I realize there is a singing and song-writing Muse in me which will not be denied until she is fully heard!” NKECHI was born in the U.S. and attended elementary school in father’s native Nigeria. She inherited the Muse from her mother a former jazz singer from Philadelphia.

While attending high school back in the U.S., NKECHI entered various musical talent shows and discovered her gifts for spontaneity and improvisation. In university, she pursued her Electrical Engineering degree, sang in a band and started modeling and acting. But after working as an engineer for a leading semiconductor chip manufacturer she found that her heart and soul lay in fully exploring her creativity, in developing her talents, and in following the movement of her Spirit.

On faith, NKECHI left her career as an engineer and began to explore more creative outlets - performing live improvisational vocals with DJs, singing lead and guest vocals with local bands, and now writing, developing, staging and performing her own live music shows. "Every show is different and unique. Ultimately, I consider myself a performance artist. Lyrics and melodies come to me through movement and dance, as well as, through the instrument of my voice. I have been walking a magical path ever since I choose to trust, discover, develop, and connect with my Muse.”

NKECHI is currently working to bring her unique voice and expressions to larger singing, writing, recording, and performance venues. In a short time NKECHI has already been blessed to have performed at many large venues with many accomplished Bay Area musicians. NKECHI, who goes only by her first name, is lead singer and principle songwriter of her self-titled band in San Francisco. NKECHI’s website is www.nkechi.com
