Chas

Now-a-days, everyone with an Akai MPC thinks they are producers, but do they really have an ear for music? There is a difference between making beats and producing songs. Chas is one of the very few up & coming super producers to make that difference obvious. From Hip Hop to R&B, Chas can do it all. From the mean streets of Flatbush, Brooklyn, Chas Edwards Jr has absorbed music for over half of his life. Starting out on drums at the age of 11, then moving on to the keyboards and bass guitar. His mother was very strict and didn't allow him to do anything but stay home and practice. As his skills advanced and high school years approached many bands wanted him because of his musical ability. Whether he was being the section leader or holding down the groove, this young producer has been a musical leader for quite some time. He has played and toured with various bands, groups, and choirs. In the band “RPM” & “Caribean Nsync”, Chas grooved calypso, soca, and reggae beats. While playing with “The Clarence Carvin Orchestra” he was able to show off a touch of his jazz skills. He also holds down the groove for his church band, playing every style from hymns and anthems, to r&b flavored grooves, and funk. Each of these groups has allowed him to perform in major cities in the USA & Canada. Chas has also performed at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center.
