Cinematic, celestial, and ethereal are a few ways to describe Chioke’s sultry sounds. With her pyschadelic production and her dreamlike cadence, this alternative R&B artist sends her listeners floating in time every moment she graces the microphone. Born and raised in Philadelphia, PA, the self described “wavy cat-mom” got her start in music at the ripe age of 19. At a young age, Chioke had a love for spoken word, and early on she started to define her sound through her Parnassian gift. Poetry was her primary outlet. Having moved around a lot as child, she used writing to cope with her ever changing surroundings. In 2017, Chioke started recording her first pieces of music. Like many artists, the songstress’s first songs were recorded in a bedroom studio with her best friend and producer, Jay Dreamer. Shortly after the two started their journey in music together, they were hit with the tragedy of Jay’s untimely death. “I would have never been in music if it wasn’t for him…So everything I do is for him”. As her best friend and first supporter, Chioke sites Jay as her biggest inspiration and motivator in music.
