She is unmistakably interchangeable: even CNN has already mistaken the authentic Schöneberger with the US-American original.

In his Whitney Houston Tribute Show, the Berlin drag artist IKENNA pays homage to the soul diva, who is considered one of the greatest voices of all time. Even today, Whitney Houston’s ballads remain among the most expressive and demanding in the world. Who doesn’t remember songs like „I Will Always Love You“ or „I Have Nothing“? Preserving this memory is IKENNA’s goal. „What could be more beautiful than contributing to keeping my greatest idol alive? Celebrating Whitney is what I want, is what I do,“ says the drag artist.

From the very first moment, IKENNA was fascinated by the soul diva like no other. He faced the challenge of doubling the singing idol and portraying a perfect woman as a man. After studying Houston’s gestures and looks for a long time, IKENNA’s first performances came in the 90s. Then, the success story began.

IKENNA’s repertoire includes all of the soul diva’s songs.

With his live program, he performs on concert stages around the world – Bangkok, Las Vegas, New York, Hong Kong, and Paris!“
