MEET CHIBIA

Singer/songwriter and violinist Chibia Ulinwa weaves introspective musings, inventive melodies, and lush productions to create a uniquely soulful sound and bring life to her carefully
crafted compositions.

Whether performing an intimate duo set or fronting her full band, Chibia captivates audiences with her genre-bending originals and reimagined covers. Her live sound features a complex combination of Neo-Soul and R&B, with elements of Alternative Rock, Folk, Highlife, Jazz, and Funk. She has shared stages with Macy Gray, Lamont Landers, serpentwithfeet, and local acts including Jimmie Herrod, Sarah Clarke, Julia Logue, and many others.

Her track "Honey" has been featured in Marvel’s She Hulk as well as Queen Sugar on OWN.
The single was voted one of KMHD’s best singles of 2020, praised as “not a second of its 4 minutes land flat— and as soon as it’s over, you put it on again.” In August 2023, Chibia released her first 4-song EP, So This is Love Vol I, followed by Vol. II in November 2024.

Balancing her growing music career with her role as an orchestra director in public schools across the river in Vancouver, Washington, Chibia continuously inspires the next generation of string musicians. She is also an accomplished lettering artist and illustrator under her creative studio Inkus Dingus, having worked with brands like Target, Kleenex, Hero Cosmetics, American Greetings, Adobe, and more.
