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 :)
Chike checked in with me throughout the day to let me know when he was getting ready, leaving, and on his way. He was very flexible with when I needed him. He sang Back At One so flawlessly! He has a beautiful voice! Don’t hesitate in booking him!
Thank you Chike!

Chike showed up on time and was very professional.
He sang in both English and Spanish. and was a definite hit. The song he sang in Spanish brought the brides mother to tears. Everyone was very moved/happy. I highly recommend Chike
Singer/Songwriter
Overall really great experience - really responsive and flexible when it came to what songs (he had never heard of the song i wanted but took it on).
The surpise was in a hotel bar, he organised it perfectly and sang the song so well, great voice.
Thanks Janyne

Chike is better than advertised. Simply an incredible performer. He knows how to put on a show. Just give him a microphone and watch the magic happen. Amazing voice! Captured the moment of my wedding perfectly. The cover song he performed sounded better than original.
If you want a great performance, get this guy. You won't regret it.

Chike has such a smooth, beautiful voice. He was professional and so nice to all of us. This was a surprise for my mother and he was very willing to follow through with the surprise. He also serenaded my mother with great eye contact and emotion. Hire him- you won't regret it!

I surprised my now soon to be wife at a birthday dinner by having Chike unexpectedly sing to her before proposing and man he knocked it out the park. Thanks Chike, you were professional and great.
Chike came to my Friend’s doorstep and sang her the most beautiful birthday song! He put his own spin on Stevie Wonder’s happy birthday song. It was so sweet and the best surprise. She was singing it the following day! What a beautiful voice, and amazing presence. I would recommend him for sure!

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.
