}}Echezonachukwu Chinedu Nduka (born 19 July 1989) is a Nigerian poet, pianist, and musicologist specializing in piano music by African and African-descent composers. His work has been featured on BBC, Radio Nacional Clasica de Argentina, and Classical Journey.[1][2][3][4]

Early life and education

Nduka was born in Onitsha, Nigeria, to an Anglican clergyman and educationist. He attended several mission schools as a result of his parents' vocation as ministers who were transferred to various stations. As a child who spent most of his time in the rectory and church environment, he joined The Boys Brigade, an organization founded in Glasgow, Scotland, by Sir William Alexander Smith. Afterwards, Nduka became a choirboy singing soprano and later, tenor.

Nduka attended Bishop Crowther Seminary, Awka. In 2006, he gained admission into the University of Nigeria to study Music, and graduated magna cum laude in 2010. Thereafter, he proceeded to Kingston University London, United Kingdom, where he studied as a postgraduate student in Music.
