A Nigerian music educator, academic researcher and performing artist from the Igbo-speaking ethnic nationality in southeast Nigeria. He holds a BA in Music and an MA in Ethnomusicology from Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State, Nigeria. For ten years, he dutifully studied under indigenous Igbo musical maestros and has mastered lots of traditional Igbo musical instruments, most of which are under the threat of extinction. 

​

In 2013, Eze founded the Ichoku Academy, which provides music education to Nigerian youth, grounded in Igbo-African cultural systems. With the Ichoku Academy, Eze has produced many young performers of Igbo music across different age grades and professions, ensuring that the Igbo musical instruments are not only preserved but returned back to use as a functional intangible heritage.  

​

Eze has performed and lectured worldwide, including an invited lecture on the “Oja Speech Surrogacy” at the Department of Linguistics, Dartmouth College, Hanover, USA. He was recently a resident at the prestigious Art Omi music residency. His recent solo performances include Oja Music at The Creative Showcase, British Council, Lagos (2024); Story Telling at Genti, GOETHE Institut, Lagos (2024); The Opening performance at The Omniverse Summit, Lagos (2024); Igbo Rising: A Performance of Nigerian Traditional Music, in collaboration with Njideka Akunyili Crosby, David Zwirner Gallery, New York (2023); and Oja Pop at the Afro Punk Festival, Brooklyn (2022). In 2016, he was the only Nigerian music ambassador at the Asian-African festival, in Beijing, China.
