ABOUT CHANJ
Chanj hails from Plainfield, NJ and is a 4-time “Showtime At The Apollo” grand-prize winner. After performing his rendition of Floetry’s hit song, “Say Yes,” the singer cemented himself as a crowd favorite and became an instant YouTube sensation. Upon winning the Apollo Grand Prize, Chanj inked a deal with the newly formed label Alistair Records. Chanj quickly gained a grassroots buzz that has already captivated and engaged a celebrity and musical-elite following, such as Teddy Riley, who exclaimed — “Chanj is the truth! I haven’t heard or worked with a voice like his in years.” Teddy Riley was so impressed with Chanj’s talent; he decided to take him under his wing throughout the entire recording process. Since hitting the scene, Chanj has been invited to perform at several high profile events, including Apollo’s 75th Anniversary with Mariah Carey, Patti LaBelle, and Prince, BET’s exclusive awards dinner hosted by BET’s President Debra Lee with Jamie Foxx, Trey Songz, Chaka Khan and more!
His debut album Time For Chanj, is scheduled for release later this year.
