Chike Ezekpeazu Osebuka, popularly known by his stage name Chike, is a Nigerian singer, songwriter, and actor who has carved a remarkable path in the entertainment industry. With his smooth vocals and captivating performances, Chike’s rise to stardom is nothing short of inspiring. He first gained recognition as a contestant on Project Fame West Africa and later, as the runner-up on The Voice Nigeria. But his journey didn’t stop there—Chike’s versatility also extends to acting, where he made notable appearances in Battleground and Gangs of Lagos.

Early Life and Career Beginnings

Born on January 28, 1993, Chike hails from Onitsha, Anambra State in southeastern Nigeria. Music runs in his family, which greatly influenced his decision to pursue a career in the industry. He graduated from Covenant University with a degree in Computer Engineering, but his passion for music took precedence. Chike first stepped into the spotlight on Project Fame West Africa, where he showcased his talent before moving on to The Voice Nigeria.

Rising to Fame on The Voice Nigeria

Chike’s audition on The Voice Nigeria was a turning point in his career. His rendition of James Arthur’s “Roses” left a lasting impression, earning him a spot on Team Patoranking. Throughout the competition, he delivered outstanding performances, including Mario’s “Let Me Love You” and The Weeknd’s “Earned It.” Although Chike finished as the runner-up, his talent had already captured the hearts of many, setting the stage for future success.

Acting Career and Musical Success

Chike’s talents go beyond music. He made his acting debut in Battleground as Mayowa Badmus and later starred in Gangs of Lagos, where he played the role of Ify. His ability to seamlessly transition between music and acting has made him a standout figure in the Nigerian entertainment scene.

In 2020, Chike released his debut album, Boo of the Booless, which was well-received and featured hit tracks like “Running (To You)” with Simi. His sophomore album, The Brother’s Keeper, followed in 2022, further solidifying his place in the Nigerian music industry.

Chike’s Latest Work: Son of Chike

In 2024, Chike announced the release of his third studio album, Son of Chike. The album, set to drop on July 19, 2024, features collaborations with notable Nigerian artists such as Olamide, Ladipoe, and Qing Madi. With tracks like “Unto You,” “Lifetime Love,” and “Ego Oyibo,” Chike continues to showcase his musical evolution while staying true to his cultural roots.

Why Chike is Our Man Crush Monday

Chike’s remarkable journey from reality TV star to a multi-talented artist is a testament to his dedication, passion, and versatility. Whether through his soulful music or compelling acting performances, Chike has left an indelible mark on Nigeria’s entertainment landscape.
