Composer Nkeiru Okoye doesn’t fit neatly into any kind of classical category. Her compositions showcase her genius by incorporating different types of musical styles that help create a sound that’s uniquely hers. She describers her music as “accessible” classical music mixed with African American/West African flavor, but she doesn’t see her race as the defining thing about her, or her music.
