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,​ launch​ed​ 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.
