As a YouTuber, he has garnered over 5K subscribers, uploaded over 2,000 videos to date, and entertained well over 1,000,000 people worldwide with his vlogs, cover songs, and live performance videos.
“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.”
“Thank you for performing at my birthday celebration! Your talents and professionalism made my birthday even more special. I look forward to booking you in the future. Stay blessed.”
“Professional, Engaging, and a great addition to any event. I’ll hire Ikechi again!”
“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.”
“Ikechi Onyenaka and his jazz band performed at my Grandfather’s Celebration of Life last Saturday. Their performance was better than I could imagine. From the incredible & vast song selection to the extraordinary skill each musician showed. They were the highlight of the day and my grandfather would’ve loved to hear them play! The music they played filled the room with such joy and high spirits. They honored my grandfather’s life the right way and it was beautiful to see it. By the end of the event they received so much praise and everyone wanted to hire them for their next event. I know for sure I will be hiring them for my next major event that I host. To Ikechi and his band, thank you so much for putting on such an amazing show in honor of my grandfather, it made the day perfect!”
“Having Ikechi at my formal house party was so special! He added a beautiful level of ambiance & was so respectful of my home and guests!”
“Hi, thank you again for the wonderful time. You did great and everyone loved your performance! It was a great way to start off our dinner party and set the tone for the night. Your professionalism and communication was also amazing. I would definitely recommend!”
“Ikechi played exceptionally well at my Birthday event. He was punctual, friendly to my guests, and listened to ALL of my directions. His musical talent with the saxophone truly added a special touch to my birthday celebration and I received many compliments from my guests. I highly recommend Ikechi for any musical entertainment needs.”
“Ikechi’s sound was brilliant and celebratory. He jammed effortlessly with the other musicians and filled the vast space of Cherry Street Pier with his energy and spirit. We loved it. It definitely amped up our event and made people smile.”
“The music coming from your saxophone was like someone singing with passion and integrity. I know it is no easy task to perform on a rolling structure (a parade float), but I heard many amazing comments from spectators along the route that thought you knocked it out of the park”
“I had the extreme pleasure of helping coordinate Ikechi Onyenaka’s performance of the national anthem as part of Franklin University’s Jan. 5, 2025, commencement ceremony. His pre-event and day of collaboration to ensure a smooth and successful performance were incredibly professional and helped deliver a moving performance. In fact, his performance was so moving that the entire auditorium erupted into applause at the conclusion of his performance. He definitely created a memorable component to the ceremony.”
“Ikechi was the perfect musical addition at our birthday dinner! From the moment he started playing, he set the tone for an unforgettable night. His talent is absolutely undeniable and added so much life to our event. Beyond the music, he was an absolute professional: punctual, communicative, and incredibly accommodating. He even provided us with a microphone, helped capture moments with photos, and stayed an extra hour beyond our agreed timeframe just to keep the party going and ensure our guest had a fabulous time. He didn’t just perform; he became part of the celebration. If you’re looking to add something truly special to your event, Ikechi is the ONE! I can’t wait to book him again!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
