Career

Chike’s birth into a family that valued music so highly helped his career in the music industry. He started singing in 2009 and participated in several competitions to hone his abilities. He won the title of best vocalist in a high school competition that same year.

Chike took part in Project Fame West Africa, a music competition held by MTN, an African telecommunications corporation where he first gained notoriety.

Chike sang a version of the UK song “Roses” on The Voice Nigeria after being kicked out of Project Fame. James Arthur, the X Factor winner, was supported by all four coaches, who turned around in their seats and rose up. He was referred to as a rising star by Patoranking, who pledged to make him one. He made the decision to join Team Patoranking after hearing all of his proposals.

He sang “No Woman, No Cry” by Bob Marley and the Wailers in the competition’s finale, then a moving rendition of Kiss Daniel’s “Mama.” He was referred to as “Ladies’ man” by the show’s host and “Chike-ranking” by Patoranking, his tutor. On July 31, 2016, he came in second place in The Voice Nigeria’s inaugural season, after Team Waje’s A’rese.

Following the competition, Chike and the other top four contestants on The Voice Nigeria were all signed to Universal Republic. In December 2016 and early 2017, he and the Universal Republic record company jointly released his debut single, “Fancy U.”

In order to pursue a solo career, Chike quit Universal Republic in November 2017. His following single, “Beautiful People,” was made available in February 2018.
