About CHINGY:
GRAMMY® nominated multi-platinum entertainer CHINGY has ascended to the Billboard Hot 100 chart eight times and achieved rapid mainstream success with the release of his debut album, Jackpot, and smash hits “Right Thurr,” “Holidae In,” “One Call Away,” “Pullin’ Me Back,” “I Do,” “Dem Jeans,” and many more. CHINGY single handedly influenced cultural slang with “thurr” and “hurr” following the global smash of “Right Thurr.” After Jackpot, CHINGY knocked himself out of the top Billboard position with his second No. 1 album, Powerballin’, with No. 1 hit “Balla Baby.” CHINGY’s indelible hits have been featured in blockbuster films, including “Norbit” starring Eddie Murphy; Netflix’s “Don’t Look Up” starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep; Marvel Comics/20th Century Fox’s “Fantastic Four” and Universal’s “2 Fast 2 Furious.“ On screen, CHINGY’s acting chops include small screen roles in television comedy series “My Wife and Kids,” “One on One,” “George Lopez,” “Yo Momma,” as well as cameos in several films, including “Scary Movie 4” and “Speed Dating.” A St. Louis, Missouri native, CHINGY began writing lyrics when he was 9-years-old and began performing soon after. CHINGY’s music embodies fresh energy thanks to his unique slang like “thurr” and “hurr,” as well as the dizzying synth-based melodies. CHINGY has built a global fanbase and has toured in every continent, including U.S. military bases in Japan, South Korea, Guam, Alaska and Hawaii. His collaborations include “Holidae In,” featuring Snoop Dogg and Ludacris, which scored a GRAMMY® nomination for Best Rap Collaboration in 2004; “Don’t Worry” with Janet Jackson; “Right Thurr (Remix)” featuring Jermaine Dupri and Trina; “Dem Jeans” also featuring Jermaine Dupri; “One Call Away” featuring J-Weav and many more.
