NKECHI is lead vocalist and principle songwriter of NKECHI LIVE! Astral Soul Songstress & Band the performance platform of NKECHI's original musical works.

NKECHI's voice expresses an "out of the box" genre, where hints of Seal, Erykah Badu, Norah Jones, Sade, and even Madonna guarantee her mainstream placement upon the release of an album. NKECHI is delighted to have such talent musicians helping keep the dream alive! Band are Nkechi's Musician Friends: Tim O'Connor, Allen Perkins, Chris LaPaglia, Rich Fisanick, Pete Luchter to name a few..

Sounds Like
Some say my voice is like Sade, some say Norah Jones, some say Dido, some say Madonna, some say Seal, Some say Jill Scott, some say Erykah Badu, some say Macy Gray, the list goes on and on and then mutates. I'll take them all since they all sound great and are great. However, I say I sound like me, because I do! Really! Not sure it could work any other way. BTW I tried that already, it doesn't work. So be it. I guess I GET to be me. I'm working on this for the moment.
NKECHI (pronounced nnn-KAY-chee) is a half Nigerian, half American indie alternative singer/songwriter whose evocative voice, lyrics, and melodies explore a wide range of musical territory, including indie pop, folk & soul all in her signature sound and style. She has creatively expressed her Muse in many ways over time, as a fashion model, to the face in commercials, to lead roles in film. Now NKECHI emerges from the San Francisco music scene, bright-eyed and forever hopeful, as an organic soul performance artist. NKECHI's dynamic live performances put her in a category of musical shamans. With Erykah Badu gestures and sass, the rich vocal textures of Sade and Seal, and a Madonna-like capacity for ever-evolving style, NKECHI is a one-of-a-kind entertainer - a truly original performing artist. Meet NKECHI's Butterfly Muse through the essence of her voice, lyrics, music, theatrics, and more. NKECHI Astral Soul Songstress delivers Organic Soul for the Spirit!

Either way, I welcome them all and I won’t hold it against you if you don't! ***Smile*** Pass the word. Don't be a stranger. Stay In Touch!
Why you and your band have not been signed to a major label, is beyond me! Your voice, and music are very original..Mapco Records, is geared toward the "Indie Artist", and only those with talent worthy of attention...I then take that representation,along with distrubution to the Major Labels,on personal level...Sorta hands on type of guy. In the coming weeks ahead,we will have a dedicated website currently under construction,and will offer live web radio streaming of the artists,and at our choosing,distrubute the product under our affiliate labels and overseas marketing! We will also set aside that intent,with the hopes that our "Indie artists" shows will air on XM and Sirius,if they are willing to lend some support! Lots of things in the works.All this for the sake of exposure!
Take care and keep in touch. email us,on some of your up and coming shows,and I will make the trip to catch a live performence,while in L.A It would be great to meet you in person..
