CHAI, a rising female artist with a unique blend of Moroccan and Sudanese heritage, is making waves in the music scene with her debut single released on June 21st, 2024. Though she grew up in Niagara Falls, Canada, CHAI's diverse background and life experiences have shaped her into a singer-songwriter with a distinctive voice and style.
Having spent the past two years honing her songwriting skills both for herself and others, CHAI only recently began recording her own music. Her journey in music started at the young age of 13, and now, after years of writing and creating, she’s stepping into the spotlight with a sound that’s both nostalgic and fresh.
CHAI’s music is deeply influenced by the early 2000s, echoing the sounds of artists like Miley Cyrus and Michelle Branch. She has a deep appreciation for country-style storytelling and songwriting, but she also loves the catchy, memorable elements that define pop music. Her debut track leans towards a country-pop sound, blending her love for big pop sounds with the intimate, narrative style of country music.
“I grew up listening to big pop sounds, and I'm very inspired by Shania Twain and Michael Jackson,” CHAI explains. This blend of influences gives her music a nostalgic feel that many listeners find familiar and comforting. But while her songs might evoke memories of the past, they are also uniquely her own, shaped by her personal experiences and global perspective.
CHAI’s goal is to create music that resonates on a personal level, feeling like a friend to anyone who listens. “I want my songs to sound familiar, so I lean towards what I grew up listening to,” she says. Her music is a reflection of her own journey, a 2000s baby who draws inspiration from the artists she admired growing up, yet she remains committed to carving out her own path in the industry.
As she continues to release more music, CHAI is sure to attract a growing fan base who will appreciate her blend of nostalgic sounds, heartfelt storytelling, and fresh, modern influences. With her debut track setting the stage, CHAI is poised to make a lasting impact on the pop music landscape.
