Ariké's sound melds together R&B, neo-soul, Motown, pop and hints of gospel to create a beautiful fusion of old skool soul with a new skool sensibility and flair.
Influenced by the likes of Jill Scott, Erykah Badu and contemporary gospel artists, Ariké continues to develop her neo-soul sound while implementing elements of her African heritage into her work, and beguiling audiences along the way.
Ariké has performed at some of Manchester’s most iconic stages and her diary is always busy and active! She is not one to be missed, and her sound will bring a sense of real warmth and soulful beauty to your wedding.

Ariké was just wonderful at our wedding and we couldn't recommend her enough. We were lucky to have great weather and her beautiful voice and sound was perfect for the day. Hugely recommended if this is your vibe.

What a gorgeous voice! We'd spent months daydreaming about what the music would be like at our drinks reception and honestly Ariké was the perfect choice for us, and exceeded our hopes and expectations. If you're looking for a divine vocalist and gorgeous souful vibes then Ariké is for you. Thank you so much!

Ariké performed at our afternoon drinks reception and she was utterly perfect. All of our guests were loving it and loads have commented to us about how much they loved her. We did too! Thank you so much for delivering such a beautiful performance.

Af’s style is a unique and original blend of different genres like pop, R&B, soul and Latin, while she sometimes flirts with flamenco, gospel and electro.
Emily’s voice is expressive, soulful, and full of passion, and is perfectly complemented by her own piano accompaniment.
Ian’s sets are tailored to suit, whether that be upbeat singalongs or chilled out background music.
With a soulful, bluesy and gravelly voice, Benn's acoustic covers span a variety of styles and genres all embellished with his own unique twist.
