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.

MVTE
(PRONOUNCED MUTE)
Chicago’s historic music scene has an exciting voice emerging from an unlikely name. Mia Knowles, better known as MVTE (pronounced mute) is following Chicago’s rich lineage of important and unique voices in hip hop including legends like Da Brat and Shawna and the new generational talent of Noname, Dreezy, and Tink.
It may be surprising that a quiet, shy kid, that her family called Mute, would find her calling as an artist in the biggest musical force in the world, hip hop. Or perhaps, it was written. Her love for music started in the church choir, often singing lead vocals and even writing her own songs as early as six years old. Her skills really started to develop as a young adult focusing on the craft of songwriting and emceeing where she developed a one-of-a-kind voice, poignant lyrics, and an effortless flow.
She began releasing her own music in 2017 and performing shows in 2018 and has continued to hone her craft through a steady stream of releases since 2019. Through the countless hours of writing and recording, MVTE has created a musical world that knows no boundaries. From jazz influenced slow burners to hard hitting gritty boom bap to Chicago flavored anthems, her music is a rich, diverse mosaic allowing her space to explore. Her music is unique, fun and filled with feeling, transporting the listener into her world. And in her world, contrary to her stage name, MVTE has a lot to say.
