Rising Afrobeat and R&B artist Chef Gee (real name Gabriel Etuk Effiong) releases his latest single “NSIDO,” a stunning fusion of Ibibio rhythm, Afrobeat groove, and R&B soul. The song captures the heart of African sound while telling a story of culture, emotion, and identity.

Born on April 26, 1997, in Ebute Metta West, Lagos, and proudly from Itu Local Government in Akwa Ibom State, Chef Gee’s journey reflects a balance of talent and creativity. His love for music runs deep, a natural gift that allows him to connect with people through feeling and rhythm.

Beyond music, Chef Gee is a skilled chef, known for his appearance on the NaijaChefs Hub reality TV show (2021), where he showcased his creativity and passion for flavour. That same artistry translates into his music — blending sounds with the same care and soul he brings to every dish.

“NSIDO” — which means “What’s happening?” in Ibibio is more than just a song. It’s an experience that honors his roots while embracing a global sound. With smooth vocals, heartfelt lyrics, and cultural rhythm, Chef Gee proves that authenticity never goes out of style.
