Ndidi O

Ndidi Onukwulu, (pronounced In-DEE-dee On-OOK-whoo-loo) professionally known as Ndidi O, is an award-winning Contemporary Roots & Blues singer-songwriter.

For nearly two decades, this two-time JUNO award nominee, has carved out an adventurous career that deftly moves between soul, blues, contemporary roots, folk and Americana.

A force of nature from the wilds of British Columbia where she grew up, Ndidi is the daughter of a Nigerian father and a German mother. She represents a distinctly Canadian experience – standing astride lines blurred between contrasting cultures and heritages. Once she discovered her voice and collected a diverse range of sounds and styles, her talents took her away from home to New York City, Toronto, Paris and Los Angeles. Her music, like her lineage, explores the globe while keeping ‘home’ at the centre of it all.

Opening this show will be Katie Ditschun. From Alexandria, Katie graced our Stage in last season's Intimate Acoustics lineup. She is inspired by Jazz, Blues, Funk, Folk, and women singer-songwriters, and her music was described by Jazz Fm's Raina Hersh as "full of lyrical substance and warmth."
