NKECHI

Nkechi (enKAYchee) is a multidisciplinary artist (actor, performance artist, singer-songwriter and painter) and philanthropist committed to sharing her gift as a storyteller with others for the betterment of our beautiful world. 

Nkechi passionately writes, produces and performs solo performance works (Licensed to Drive While Bl***, Licensed to Drive While Black, Licensed to Drive While Black (Revisited), Politics: The Language of Color & All Her Children) utilizing all of her performing and storytelling artforms (song, stage, script, screen) to sold out audiences.

In addition to being an active performing performance artist, she also enjoys being a host, curating and producing hybrid/IRLive event experiences. As Nkechi Live! Presents it is her joy to help others conceive and believe they can achieve bringing beautiful event experiences to life, especially for philanthropic purposes.

Nkechi entered the entertainment industry as a teenage model, then after some acting training began booking national commercials one after another. Despite being a gifted artist she received a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University before understanding her artistry could also be a career.  While at Stanford others could see the artist within (even betting she'd change her major, she didn't) On her Friends encouragements and her natural hudspa, she auditioned and performed in a few theater productions. Then on a dare she auditioned for and was chosen to sing lead for a successful college band alongside world class musicians. After working as an engineer for a leading semiconductor chip manufacturer in Silicon Valley by day and exploring creative options by night, in a moment of clarity she felt inspired by God to fully pursue life as a budding multidisciplinary artist. After studying the Meisner Technique to further develop her craft as an actor roles in film and theater continue to be added to her growing resume. She has continued to up the ante of learning through American Conservatory Theatre and pursuing an MFA in Theatre-Performance Making from CIIS / Chichester.

As a fine painter Nkechi has been blessed to be able put her artwork in the hands of prestigious collectors and galleries. As singer/songwriter Nkechi's rich vocal textures and gift for improvisation make her performances a one-of-a-kind experience.  Her songs explore a range of music territory, from acoustic soul to folk rock and pop in a signature inspirational and lyrical sound. Nkechi delivers conscious messages through verse, rhyme, and melody and gives God all the glory for her talent. Nkechi's EP Soul Rock Butterfly is available on the Music page.

Some feature film credits include About Cherry (Stephen Elliott), 99% (Celik Kayalar) and Jujuluv (Lisbon Okafor). See Film page for complete list.  Nkechi's on-camera representation is Stars, the Agency in SF / LA and Avalon Artists Group in LA / NY / Chicago
