Biography

Early life

He was born Ikechukwu Chimeremeze Henry Chikwendu. The first Son of his parents. Has a sister and a brother.

Early music career
He started singing when he was 7. He started playing the piano when he was 9. His piano playing was not for commercial bases but religious basis. He was actually the church organist at 11 years of age.

His singing talent took off during his teenage years when he started learning how to sing western songs. The American group, then, called Acapella was his model for his voice training. He always listened to this singing group until he could sing all their songs before a crowd. This formed his singing foundation. So he formed many other acapella groups too. By this time singing also wasn’t a career. It was another church activity.

In 1996, Iyke got closer to making a career out of music by entering into the commercial music industry as a keyboardist, also not a singer. He played the keyboard for many notable musicians at that time namely; okwara Ezema (late), Paul Nwokocha, Israel Anyamele (Agape love band) and many others.

In 2002 he released his first solo album titled Sharon worship.

In 2003 He started his commercial singing career when he began to play a unique kind of music presentation known as one-man band (a style of music presentation that only requires one person or two with a digital workstation keyboard and then speaking systems).

This was very easy for him to pull off since he was already a pianist.

His singing career soon became a huge success as he had so many invitations. Because of his large and mixed audience, he was vast. He sings, pop, country, reggae, jazz, blues and even Latin songs and of course gospel. He had to be this versatile so as to entertain his audience well. His singing career really took off as he went from place to place to perform, even outside Nigeria.

He grew very fast in the industry. So in 2010 he had his own record brand and label – Sharpsound Music.

In 2016 he recorded another album titled It’s All About Jesus. With the first track ‘It’s All About Jesus’ as the hit track.

This song quickly was all over the place online and offline and is still trending.
