In 2010, she gained prominence after winning the third season of Project Fame West Africa.[4] Following the release of the music video for her "Emi Ni Baller" single, she became the first female musician to peak at number 1 on the MTV Base Official Naija Top 10 chart.[5] In 2011, she released the Sound Sultan-assisted single "Jankoliko".[6] Her eponymous debut album Chidinma, released through the music platform Spinlet, was supported by the singles "Jankoliko", "Carry You Go", "Kedike" and "Run Dia Mouth".[7] Chidinma won Best Female West African Act at the 2012 Kora Awards and performed "Kedike" at the ceremony.[8]
In May 2021, Chidinma revealed on Instagram that she made a transition to gospel music and is now engaged in Christian ministry. She released the gospel single "Jehovah Overdo" that same month. On 20 August 2021, Chidinma released her debut extended play New Season. Inspired by the Holy Spirit, the EP was produced entirely by Eezee Tee and comprises seven tracks.
