Sydney, Australia – Chima Kelvin Joel Ekemezie, known to the world as Priest King, is an Australian-Nigerian singer-songwriter and entertainer whose musical journey is a testament to resilience, creativity, and divine purpose. Blending a rich tapestry of genres including Pop, R&B, New Wave, Alternative R&B, Funk, and Afro-Fusion, Priest King is carving a distinct niche in the global music scene, embodying the slogan “Mr Greatness Boss Nature.”
A Creative Soul
Priest King describes himself as a singer, songwriter, composer, music director, sound addict, and fashion designer—a multifaceted artist whose heartbeat resonates through every form of artistic expression. “Music is my heartbeat, and fashion is the rhythm that completes it,” he shares.
His artistic journey began at a young age, inspired by legends like Michael Jackson and Usher Raymond. “I would lock myself in my room for hours, writing songs and singing to the echoes of my dreams,” he recalls. This passion propelled him to perform at various events, leading to auditions for prominent platforms such as MTN Project Fame, X Factor, Nigerian Idol, and Australian Idol.
The Oracle Sound
While many have compared his sound to that of Michael Jackson and The Weeknd, Priest King emphasizes his unique sonic identity, which he calls The Oracle Sound. This sound is a blend he terms Aro Pop Fusion—an innovative mix of Afro-Pop, R&B, and soul that reflects his personal experiences and emotional depth.
“My music isn’t just entertainment; it’s an experience of peace, emotion, and reflection,” he states. “Every note I sing carries healing energy and connects with the soul of my listeners.”
Overcoming Challenges
Priest King’s journey has not been without obstacles. One of his biggest challenges was finding a producer who could truly understand the depth of his sound. “Collaboration had to be more than transactional; it had to be divine alignment,” he explains. After facing setbacks, he took the initiative to learn production, develop his ear, and connect with like-minded individuals who respect his artistry.
A Vision for the Future
Looking ahead, Priest King envisions his brand expanding globally, with world tours and collaborations with top names in music and fashion. He aims for Aro Pop Fusion to become a cultural movement that bridges continents through rhythm and emotion.
“I want to build a foundation for young artists, especially those who have been silenced or underestimated,” he shares. “My dream is to make music and fashion the language of unity.”
Upcoming Releases
This year marks a new chapter for Priest King, with an upcoming EP and singles set for release in 2025. His team is currently in discussions about powerful collaborations that will be revealed soon.
“My story isn’t just about success—it’s about transformation and faith in one’s destiny,” he asserts. Priest King invites the world to join him on this journey of resilience and creativity, where music can save, heal, and transform lives.
