No matter how hard the golden fish tries to hide itself behind the shrubs of the sea from the fascinating gaze of its admirers its beauty and vibes will always give it out. This is pretty the same with the beautiful and sonorous artiste popularly called Nkan, a US-based queen of vocals, songwriter, performing, and recording artist.

Let us refresh your memory of Nkan; before she relocated finally to America in 2017, she already charted her cause as a reputable artist of note while with the theatre troupe, Black Image. As a talented singer and indeed an all-around entertainer moulded with an unbridled passion for the craft, her rise to the top is via a dint of hard work and her desire to excel.
