Bio
The band was conceived as a trio consisting of Roger Davis, Chester Spivey, and Chris Freeman. After their very first note, they realized they need to pick a name that best represented the vibe. Thus they chose the name Ibeji (pronounced E-bay-zhee) which denotes a West African Yurobah symbol meaning “separate bodies but one spirit”. Realizing they shared a common musical vision, Ibeji started by hosting a night of music and poetry at Harvey’s in historic Fourth Ward around the Charlotte, NC area. The scope of their influences (ranging from U2, Prince, and Jimmie Hendrix, to George Clinton and James Brown) created a sound so unique that they were quickly able to develop a large, diverse following. They added drummer/producer Tarik Cranke to round out the band. The group soon graduated to performing at larger events around the Charlotte area, including the annual Springfest Celebration, the Afro-American Cultural Center Concert Series, and Festival in the Park. Their dazzling musicianship and high energy soulful performances enabled them to grow their fan base to capacity-sized crowds.
The group has established a solid regional following, captivating audiences in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. Today, they continue their journey towards national stardom and international acclaim. With continued superior performances and the highly-anticipated release of their album,
