ABOUT CHINGY
GRAMMY® nominated multiplatinum entertainer CHINGY has ascended to the Billboard Hot 100 chart eight times and achieved rapid mainstream success with the release of his double-Platinum RIAA certified debut album, Jackpot, and smash hits “Right Thurr,” “Holidae In,” “One Call Away,” “Pullin’ Me Back,” “I Do,” “Dem Jeans,” and many more. CHINGY’s indelible hits have been featured in blockbuster films, including “Norbit” starring Eddie Murphy, 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 debut LP, Jackpot, embodied his fresh energy thanks to his unique slang like “thurr” and “hurr,” as well as the dizzying synth-based melodies. CHINGY quickly managed to build a global fanbase due to his accented, catchy hooks while men copied his style by rocking oversized colorful bandanas beneath their baseball caps. 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. CHINGY continues to release new music, including “Nu Beginnings,” in early 2024.
