Ch-n (Pronounce Chin) was born in Kingston, jamaica. At the age of 14 he became interested in Dee Jaying (Jamaican version of Rapping). Ch-n, who is now in his early 20's notes Beenie Man, Bounty Killer, Buju Banton, Snoop Dog, Busta Rhymes,Elephant Man as some o f his major musical influences. When it comes to music , ch-n reports that, this is what I always wanted to do, music has always been part of my life (His father was DJ and his uncle was a dancehall artist name Chippy Ranks, who had a mildly successful music career in the early 90').

Ch-n love for music came around the same time he migrated from Kingston, Jamaica to Brooklyn, New York in the early part of 1991. This is the year that Buju Banton released his first song Browning, which he says, touched him in a very special way and forced him to start paying more attention to music. However, it was not until 1992 when he first found a copy of Snoop Dog Doggy Style Album that he came up with the idea to rap. In 1994 Ch-n went to back to Jamaica for summer and fell in love with the dancehall music. For the first time in years, I was surrounded by nothing but reggae music, and said that he learned every song on the radio that summer in Jamaica. When he returned to New York he decided to combine the musical styles of Dancehall Reggae and Hardcore Hip-hop that he now refers to as Fusion Music

His next single, Facin life with a blunt enjoyed decent play on the airwaves.
