Ndidi Onukwulu, professionally known as Ndidi O, is an award-winning Contemporary Roots & Blues singer-songwriter. She has roamed far and wide from the small northern BC town of Burns Lake where she grew up. In her youth, she did stints in New York, Toronto, Paris and Los Angeles, honing her craft as a soulful singer that deftly moves between soul, blues, contemporary roots, folk and Americana. A two-time JUNO award nominee and the 2019 Western Canadian Music Awards winner for Blues Artist of the Year, Ndidi has released seven solo albums to date with her newest album released in April 2024 (produced by Steve Dawson, Hen House Records).

Ndidi O describes her style as “rootsy blues with a tinge of soul and country”, but her musical adventures include wanderings that touch down on forms that include trip-hop, gospel, surf music, country, and electric blues. Her expressive vocal range is truly dynamic and utterly impressive: delicate and almost ethereal at one moment, unleashing the raw and fearsome power of an Etta James and blowing the roof off the place in another. Ndidi O’s live performances crackle with electricity and passion; this extraordinary artist is one that needs to be on your “must see” list.

She sees music as “an emotional way of understanding the world.” Her versatile and exciting musical world is one you are going to want to inhabit with her.
