N'Kenge knows what is takes to play an icon - she played Queen of Motown, Mary Wells, on Broadway and is currently working on a TV and Broadway show about the incomparable Dorothy Dandridge. "Becoming an Icon" isn't just about her roles, but the work she is doing as a performer. The Emmy & Grammy-nominated and International Award-winning Songstress, who trained at both The Juilliard School and Manhattan School of Music, has a vocal and musical range that spans five octaves and 11 languages. She has performed for audiences in cities around the world - including appearances at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, Madison Square Garden - and at President Obama’s historic Commander-in-Chief Inaugural Ball. Intimidated yet? Wait till you hear her sing a few bars of the 80s classic, Juicy Fruit.
