Chidi

Raised on an eclectic mix of music, she borrows from the rich traditions of classic Soul music and blending a fusion of Rock, Reggae, Pop and Jazz Chidi delivers her own brand of UK Soul.

Her first foray into music began at her local church. After singing with the church choir for a number of years she then began touring Europe and supporting major Gospel artists such as Fred Hammond, Kirk Franklin, Hezekiah Walker, Kim Burrell, Mary Mary, as part of a National choir which gave her more confidence to sing both lead vocals and backup.

She has played at venues and festivals all over the UK and Europe She has shared the stage with some big names; James Brown, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Corinne Bailey-Rae and is currently one of Gloria Gaynor's backing singers. She released her first studio album entitled 'UnRehearsed' in 2009 on Selah Records including the underground smash "Wrong Again".

She discovered SLS in 2009 and after seeing vast improvements in her voice, she was eager to take it further and train to become a teacher.

CHIDI feels that her experience as a working singer gives her great insight into the issues that singers face when choosing singing as a career.

Teaching singers of all levels and ages is a way for her to give back to people who love music just as much as she does.
