Ifeanyi elswith

Hailing from the southeast side of Chicago in Avalon Park, R&B/Hip-hop singer-songwriter, rapper, and creative, Ifeanyi Elswith is one to watch.

Deemed “the coolest girl on the block” by the Chicago Reader and named 1st runner-up for their ‘Best R&B Artist’ of 2023, Ifeanyi’s been making waves in Chicago for some time now. Combining elements of jazz, soul, pop, house, reggae, and dancehall, Elswith brings a fresh spin to both genres with a contemporary while alternative edge. Her ‘incredible vocal range’, ‘confident lyrics’, and ‘refreshing vulnerability’ shape her introspective sound. Her music has allowed her to share stages with the likes of early dancehall legend, Capleton, pop-punk icon, Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco and has even earned her a spot in Chicago chapter of The Recording Academy as a voting member. 

She's been featured on other prominent Chicago platforms like Audiotree, Chicago Tribune, Vocalo, Windy City Live, and CHIRP Radio. She’s had regional and international reach through landing on platforms like Genius’s ‘The Cosign Live’, The Neo Elite based in DC, The Floor Mag based in the UK, & Belikin Beer based in Belize.
