About Me

Bio

Chanca is 26-year-old songwriter Nathan Bowles........... Chanca started out in late 2003 & by early 2004 finished his first 4- track demo. After catching that music buzz, he continued to write & record until his 16-track debut album "Dark In 2 Light" was finished by the end of that year...........Chanca is currently trying to promote the album, whilst working on new material. His unique blend of hard hitting but thought provoking words, mixed with mellow beats & trip hop style melodies are a must for any music lover who is sick and tired of hearing about the same old thing & bored of the music flooding the airwaves ...........

Reviews

"Insightful and ingenious, 'Dark In 2 Light' takes one man's personal experience and gives it universal appeal, whilst simultaneously bringing hip hop, trance, jazz and dance together in a truly contemporary way. Everything about this album is inspired." - Overplay.co.uk"A fine effort!" - Future Music Magazine"The beauty of his music is its ability to set up the groove and vibe for his distinctive vocals to come and lay down the score as it were. He cuts the proverbial and the listener is assaulted in the most positive way by track after track of crystal clear truth and testimony." - Nth-degree.net"This is an excellent debut. I guarantee that this album will really grow on you - given half a chance. Almost every track echoes the life-changing theme implied in the album's title and Bowles's lyrics are certainly hard hitting and thought provoking. The music, on the other hand, is decidedly mellow. These guys deserve a hearing .. I hope they get it." 8/10 - Cross RhythmsPlease feel free to leave a comment or send a message. All messages will be answered as fast as humanly possible !
