Ekep Nkwelle

Just back from touring with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Ekep Nkwelle is considered one of jazz’s fastest-rising stars. This 26-year-old Juilliard grad’s extraordinary vocal talent has drawn comparisons to Ella Fitzgerald.

WomenAroundTown.com raves, “Nkwelle has style, a gorgeous satin voice, wide vocal range, and terrific control. To say she hears things we don’t is putting it mildly. The artist reformats songs to fit her own iconoclastic rhythms and emphasis.”
