Ikechi recorded saxophone on one of my tracks a few years back and absolutely killed it. He was able to match the vibe perfectly and improvise a great performance for me to weave into the song effortlessly.

Ikechi was very disciplined and played his saxophone along with various different genres of music that a DJ was playing. From hip hop, to electronic music, to Dance and Rnb - Ikechi was able to play along and also have remarkable solo performances as well.

We first met through an interview I was conducting with 98.5FM at the MCCP Hip Hop Jazz festival. I saw the professionalism and soon later witnessed the talents on stage. I’ve booked him for events of my own since then and he has always delivered.

The sweet-tart, imploring tone that Ikechi Onyenaka favors on alto saxophone may remind you of a few predecessors in the realm of contemporary jazz. He was set on his path by one in particular: Grover Washington, Jr., who like him is considered a product of Philadelphia, with a style that alchemizes elements of soul, jazz, pop, and R&B.
— Nate Chinen (WRTI 90.1)
There is nothing like starting a Friday morning with a cup of coffee cooling in your hand, awaiting the world premiere of Ikechi Onyenaka’s music video for his brand new single, City Dreams. In its introduction, ambient stardust scatters across the keyboard, accompanying quiet interjections from each instrumentalist, that swell and transform into the first climactic statement of the nine minute musical journey.
— Michaela Allen (Neotech Straps)
Ikechi Onyenaka’s latest single, ‘Eclipse,’ delivers an avant-garde blend of saxophone-laden jazz and sharp trap rhythms, underpinned by the emotional richness of neo-soul. This intrinsically authentic release evolves with each soulful progression, compelling listeners to groove along with Onyenaka’s reflective journey. Through ‘Eclipse,’ he explores the seldom-discussed loneliness accompanying success, challenging the enviable facade often associated with prosperity.
— Amelia Vandergast (A&R Factory)
Jazz and Blues fusionist Ikechi Onyenaka’s latest extended instrumental soundscape, City Dreams, eases you into the twilight grooves gently before the rhythms pick up funk around the smoky jazz timbre. With the next progression, City Dreams moves towards a stormy sax blues riff that rivals the jazz-punk frontman Pete Wareham’s pipes.
