Perfect

All imma say is that his voice is amazing…I surprised my girlfriend by proposing to her and she loved every bit of it. He took direction very well and was very sweet and polite. He handed her flowers as she started to walk up the steps I suffer from anxiety and he helped guide me thru breathing exercise’s because I was sooo nervous. All imma say is Your definitely getting your money’s worth thrust me. And by chance if he gets to read thank you again :)

What to expect

I believe that you need an individual who can quickly grasp the objective of any task, patient, attentive, detail oriented, articulate and responsive to co-workers/superiors, and has great work ethic. You can expect an artist who isn't afraid to color outside the lines and someone who can bring all their life experiences and passion to fuel every performance.

About

Chike is an actor/singer who stems from the Bronx, NY but has roots grounded in Nigeria. Before entertainment, he went to the University at Buffalo where he graduated with his bachelor's in Chemistry.  In his last year of school, he performed at a mock American Idol, where he realized that the arts was his calling. He then went to the American Musical Dramatic Academy (AMDA) and received a Professional Degree in Musical Theatre. He recently worked with Royal Caribbean as a lead vocalist on the Empress of the Seas, and is currently a musician and actor at The MET Opera. As his artistry still evolves, he's on an endless journey to hone his craft and inspire through storytelling.

Notable performances include: The Met Opera, Royal Caribbean Cruises, Netflix, Amateur Night at the Apollo, and New York City Subways.

Additional booking notes

I just want to have my hands on everything that I do. This to me means, that it takes a collaborative effort to make the dream work. Every hand in the pot makes the gumbo that much better.
