Born in Nigeria and raised in California, AMAKA (Jessica Nwokike) first gained acclaim as half of the R&B duo VanJess. Following the group’s dissolution in 2023, she launched a solo career blending electronic soul with Afro-futurism. Her debut EP, “Oasis,” produced by Kaytranada, showcases her smooth vocals and nostalgic sound. Transitioning from YouTube covers to a refined solo artist, AMAKA continues to redefine contemporary R&B through innovative, genre-bending collaborations.
