Chinye is a Nigerian writer and musician.  She began creative writing at the age of seven and throughout her academic years Chinye’s desire to pursue her passions never dwindled. In 2003 she began singing in the gospel choir at her local church while studying a five-year degree programme in Pure and Applied Chemistry at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. In the autumn of 2004, after graduating with a Bachelors of Science degree, she decided to throw all caution to the wind and travelled to London where she enrolled in the London Centre of Contemporary Music (LCCM) to study Music Performance and Production. Having graduated in July 2006, Chinye received the award for ‘Best Project of 2006’ from the LCCM.

Chinye’s music and writing is rendered with raw passion, evokes the spiritual and provokes deeper thought and controversy. When she isn’t performing live, writing and recording, she is collaborating with other talented artists one of whom is her husband, Jerome Billeter – A bass guitar player and composer.

In her own words:
“What lies ahead is not to be feared but eagerly awaited with the understanding that each moment is an intrinsic part of a timeless existence.”
