Kelechi Uzoho is a dynamic and culturally grounded Nigerian-born musician, community leader, and arts advocate based in the United Kingdom.

Deeply rooted in Igbo musical heritage, Kelechi has emerged as a respected voice in the UK’s African cultural scene, blending traditional highlife rhythms with gospel and Afro-fusion influences to create powerful, spiritually resonant music that speaks to both diaspora and local audiences.

He is the band leader of De Royal Live Band, a vibrant musical ensemble known for its electrifying live performances at cultural festivals, weddings, and charitable events across the UK. As a performer, and musical director, Kelechi has showcased exceptional skill in arranging traditional Igbo songs with modern instrumentation, leading his group with artistic precision and cultural authenticity. His leadership has earned the band featured performances at major gatherings such as the Ogbako Ndi Igbo UK and Ireland Iriji Festival 2024, Igbo Union Yorkshire’s End-of-Year Cultural day, and other multicultural celebrations.

In addition to his musical work, Kelechi plays a vital role in community leadership. He currently serves as Provost 1 of Igbo Union Yorkshire (IUY) and was the organisation’s Youth Leader from 2023 to 2024. Through these roles, he has helped preserve and promote Igbo culture, organise cultural events, and provide welfare support to community members. As a member of the IUY Welfare Committee, he contributes to the Union’s broader social impact efforts, particularly through his music and mentorship of younger artists.

Kelechi also holds the prestigious role of Chief Organist of the St Joseph Catholic Choir in Bradford, where he leads musical worship during monthly African Masses and collaborates with choirs across the city’s cathedrals. Working under the guidance of Director Chinedu Nevo, Kelechi has enhanced liturgical celebrations with rich African harmonies and spiritual vibrancy.

Academically, Kelechi holds a bachelor’s degree in information management technology and an MSc in Applied Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics, reflecting a strong foundation in technology alongside his artistic expertise. This unique blend allows him to explore the intersections of digital innovation and cultural preservation through music and community development.
