Chewii was born in Montreal, Canada. She was raised by a Canadian mother and an American father. Growing up, young Chewii was surrounded by a plethora of sonic stimulation as Jazz and Soul music filled her house. She was heavily influenced by Billie Holiday, Nina Simone and Lena Horne.
Chewii’s work, much like her, communicates the artist’s truth with unrestrained passion and power that is seldom seen in music today. Her rejection and opposition of the status-quo and her assertive attitude certainly stands out on her debut EP “Black Skin Lullaby” - one that she wrote, produced and vocal engineered herself.
Following the public praise and recognition (including a MUCHFACT grant) of her 2017 single ‘PuNoni’ which featured a special collaboration with KAYTRANADA, Chewii is ready to take her place amongst her peers.
Combining introspective enriching themes with a modern approach, Chewii is ready to take the reins and show the world how artistically multifaceted she is. Confident and meticulous in her technique, her voice is sure to resonate in a world that could always use more truth.
