Known for her powerful and riveting vocals, Broadway Diva N'Kenge (Motown: The Musical and Sondheim and Sondheim) will grace the Stadium at Madison Square Garden singing the National Anthem for the NY Knicks vs Brooklyn Nets this Saturday, October 8, 2016. Tune into WCBS WFAN radio and MSG Network for broadcast.

A Bronx and Brooklyn native, N'Kenge has performed the National Anthem at Shea Stadium several times as well as God Bless America for the Opening Game for the LA Dodgers which was televised nationally. Not to be missed, N'Kenge is known to have audiences rising to their feet once their ears have witnessed this Diva's vocal ability. A graduate of both The Juilliard School and the Manhattan School of Music, N'Kenge has been seen in NYC as a soloist at Carnegie Hall with the NY Pops Orchestra, Alice Tully Hall, and currently tours around the world as a soloist with Symphony Orchestras. N'Kenge had the honor to sing for the the Commander-in-Chief Inaugural Ball in January 2009 for President Obama.

The NY Post called N'Kenge "Electrifying" in the role of Mary Wells that she originated in Broadway's Smash Hit Motown: The Musical. N'Kenge made her Broadway debut in Sondheim on Sondheim alongside Barbara Cook, Vanessa Williams, Norm Lewis and Tom Wopat which was directed by Pulitzer Prize winner James Lapine. In London, N'Kenge made her West End debut starring in The Genius of Ray Charles.
