Bio
In 2009, Chach relased her first single, a soulful house track “Until”. Until debuted in the top 10 on the electro charts and was given the remix treatment by Ron Allen, Nick Holder, Jason B and Hi Definition. Club play came from countries across the globe including the U.K and Germany. Her follow up singles "Luv" and "Starlight" also made their way into the top ten picks of international Djs, Tricky Moreira and the infamous Tony Humphries.
In 2010, Chach released the radio single “Long Time” which featured international recording artist Snow. It too quickly became a club and radio favorite. In 2011 she released "Outta Here", a fun upbeat track which hit radio, Canada wide. When asked who her influences are, Chach says she is influenced by music itself but list artists such as Tina Turner and Aretha Franklin. “I love everything from rock to reggae to underground house” she laughs.
It also speaks to her drive to conquer the music world with a multitude of genres. “Creativity holds no boundaries” says Chach. This motivation has led Chach to have a hand in all aspects of her music - she not only writes and sings but produced her single “Starlight” as well as her videos. She jokingly calls herself “She Diddy” and says, “ I take my music very seriously. “I’ve been through a lot and music has always been my release.” While the release comes in the form of her lyrics as a vehicle for escape, a place to vent, and a way to tell her story, it also comes from the satisfaction of filling a dance floor. “ I love music, and I love that feeling you get from a great track, " that’s what I want to create.” Chach says.
Chachs' videos can be seen on over 45 major video outlets across the U.S and in South Africa. She is currently on Much Music and took home the "One to Watch Award" at this years Urban Music Conference. With the release of a fresh new single around the corner, we can expect to hear much more from this coveted new artist in the coming months. Touching on house, rock, soul and much more, Chach is definitely an artist to watch.
