about

The Nigerian born Singer, Songwriter and performing artiste - Ifé. A graduate of Music and Performing Arts from Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka, Nigeria. She centers her music and sound on African culture, heritage, mother tongue and advocacy for the girl-child. She fuses these ideologies into Alternative highlife, Afro-Soul, and Pop music.

Ifé has released over eleven (11) records, including a body of work which she titled “DarkLight”. An Extended Play that is considered to be revolutionary and inspirational. She has worked with notable acts in Nigeria and internationally. They include; Umu Obiligbo, Smarty from Burkina Faso on the African Union theme song for #AfricaEducatesHer campaign to return girls to school, Ahec 3, Unchained XL From New Zealand, DJ Koffi from the United Kingdom and many others.

Ifé is here again with her debut album titled “Sunset and Paragraphs”. She describes the album as our lives in chapters, words and melodies. The album is about everyone on planet Earth. Every single person has a song or more telling their stories on the album. Each track is considered as a Paragraph.

The album features Smarty, a French rapper from Burkina Faso, on the track “I love Africa”.

I Love Africa is a song that expresses the beauty of Africa, her challenges through colonization and the resilient spirit of Africans. It tells the story of the African struggles. It captures the victories of Thomas Sankara, Miriam Makeba, Nelson Mandela etc. It is a song that solidifies the uniqueness of Africa and urges Africans to stand in unity. The song makes it bold to say “Africa you are alpha”. It encourages Africans to be who they are and always remember their home, standing strong against tribulations on their resolve to always stand for something.

Sunset and Paragraphs is an album built on Love, Appreciation, History, discourages disunity and encourages hard work.

Sunset and Paragraphs is on all digital platforms across the globe.

BIOGRAPHY
Life has been about singing for Ifechukwu Mercy Michael professionally known as Ifé. She was born in a family where singing was the norm. Ifé at the age of ten (10) years joined the chorus of traditional music that engulfed her household. Her father and mother were professional Singers who recorded three (3) albums at their peak.
Ifé attended the prestigious Nnamdi Azikiwe University in Awka Nigeria where she studied and graduated with a degree in Music and Performing Arts. While a Student, Ifé picked up playing Igbo traditional thumb piano, guitar, piano and other percussion instruments.
The Multi-talented Nigerian born Singer, Songwriter, whose state of origin is Anambra (Umuawulu, Awka South LGA), centers her music on African culture and Heritage and advocacy for the girl-child, women and mother tongue. This motivates her to research traditional Igbo folk songs and recycle them into the Afro-Soul genre, Alternative Highlife and Pop idioms. The Results are compelling, and a futuristic adventure for new sounds in music. With over four (4) years of experience as a professional artiste, her Music journey remains adventurous as she also explores different sounds. Her discography is above twelve (12) away from features from other artistes.
Ifé represents many African souls seeking to journey home, seeking to have a feel of the African ideals and to represent these ideals. It takes calling to discern such a journey, courage to begin it and tenacity to remain undeterred. She is set to journey almost forever on that path she is convinced that leads home.
More so, Ifé contributes in her measures to the growth of modern African music and musicianship. With performances at Mondial Music for women Festival 2021 in Abidjan, Black History Concert 2021 in Lagos, Nigeria and Festival Music for women in Montreal, Canada (virtual concert) held in 2020, It is safe therefore to say that truly, Ifé represents the hope in Igbo cultural Renaissance and a force in the promotion of Igbo and African culture. She has also headlined her own concerts and a host of others.
Ifé is a volunteer with the African Union/Center for Girls and Women Education in Africa on their #AfricaEducatesHer Campaign. She stands in solidarity using her music and artistry to Campaign for education for the girl-child in Africa and the fight against early girl-child marriage.
Ifé is part of the team that came together all over Africa on the project theme “Culture as a tool for healing” This is a Community and National Outreach initiative that kicked off in South Africa. It is targeted at everyone that has lost a loved one, their job or anything they hold dear due to CoronaVirus. This is a journey to initiate the healing process through music, Performing Arts and Poetry.
