Born Queen Chinyere Onokala, Kween is an outstanding
songstress with the most captivating vocal range and texture combined with a
professional stage craft and a highly embracing international appeal with an
afrocentric feel. This irrepressible Diva hit the music scene in 1999 with
Zuma Rock Band. She went solo in November 2001 with the release of her first
single 'oluronbi' which featured Fuji Star Pasuma Wonder. In April 2006, she
again released ‘Come with me’. One of her greatest asset has been her lingual
dynamism. This gives her the advantage of singing in English, Yoruba and Igbo
as well as the Nigerian Pigeon English with credit to her being Igbo but raised
in Ogun state.
Partnering with Erave, together they host various celebrities;
the likes of Dj jimmy Jatt, Eldee the don, and Julius Agwu just to name a few. It
takes place every Thursday at Club Rumours in G.R.A. Ikeja and everyone can be
a part of it.
The tipping point of her career was marked with the release
of her third single 'Jebele' in June 2007. 'Jebele's' prominence resulted in a
quantum leap and this attracted Soundcity Music Video Award for Best Female
Video 2008 as well as Best Highlife Music Video at Nigerian Music Video Awards (NMVA)
2008. Prior to the NMVA Award, the single ‘Jebele’ was nominated for Best Picture,
Best Edited Video, Best Overall Music Video, Best Picture and Best highlife, a
testimony of its exceptional quality.
In August, she had an album listening party for her
"kweendoncome" album. This self titled album
that has been testified by industry henchmen as 'an excellent piece' and 'a timeless collection of music' is a fourteen (14) track album which includes amongst others 'Kadara', 'Black Widow', and 'Ready'. The rich maturity of this album cannot be over-accentuated. Both the premium and economy edition was released in chorus into the Nigerian music market in December 7, 2011. Kween is happily married with two adorable sons. A symbol of royalty which stands by itself, she is a brand synonymous with intelligence and inspiring lyrics. For her, music is the core of her passion.
