Front Woman - Saskwatch
Australia
As the frontwoman of Melbourne touring band Saskwatch, Nkechi has performed at a number of major venues and festivals including Glastonbury, Edinburgh Fringe Fest, Byron Bay Blues Fest and Splendour in the Grass.
With a passion for music and identity, Nkechi along with co-creator Lucille Cutting, launched The Pin in 2016: a website dedicated to exploring the identities, cultures and race of biracial and bicultural Australians through essays, interviews and podcasts. This year, The Pin moved from an online platform to presenting its first event 'Where We At?' which saw artists discuss the topics of race, identity and culture to a sold out crowd.
Furthering her understanding of the Australian music scene, Nkechi has taken on a new role as radio presenter, for Triple J's Roots 'n All.
