Today we’d like to introduce you to Chxn.
Hi Chxn, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I actually started out as a rapper. Like a lot of independent artists, I had a vision for the music I wanted to make, but I couldn’t afford beats or studio time. I was mad young at the time.
Around the age of 15, I got an internship at local radio station in my hometown in Georgia. I went from being an intern to one of the youngest on-air personalities. Being there exposed me to everything happening behind the scenes, there were A&R in and out and I started to really learn more about the art of dj’ing and producing. I started asking a lot of questions and learning how to create my own beats, and from that point on, there was really no looking back.
What began as a way to support my own music eventually became my passion and career. Today, I’m focused on producing music, building my brand as chXn, and creating records that have gone on to be placed across television and other media. Looking back, not being able to afford beats ended up pushing me toward the path I was meant to be on.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. Like many independent creatives, I’ve had to balance building a career while navigating life itself; funding my passion, investing in equipment, and figuring things out without a blueprint. There have been plenty of moments when opportunities didn’t come as quickly as I’d hoped or when I questioned whether I was making the right decisions.
On top of that, I’m a woman in a male dominated field. There have been times I’ve walked into studios only to have a producer with a bigger name or more credits take an opportunity, or for artists to assume I was the assistant or runner instead of the producer. Those moments are humbling and, in many ways, necessary, but that doesn’t make them any easier.
I think one of the biggest challenges has simply been staying consistent and believing in the long game. It’s easy to compare yourself to others or get discouraged when success doesn’t happen overnight. But every setback has taught me something, whether it was improving my craft, learning the business side of music, or becoming more resilient.
Those experiences have shaped not only the producer I am today but also the person behind the music. They’ve taught me that consistency, patience, and faith are just as important as talent.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I’m a music producer and creative who specializes in creating records that feel cinematic, emotional, and timeless. While my foundation is rooted in hip-hop, I enjoy blending genres and pulling inspiration from film scores, soul, R&B, jazz, and everyday life to create music that tells a story before a single lyric is written.
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to have my music featured across television on networks like Disney, VH1, Bravo, and others. Those placements have been meaningful milestones because they remind me that music can connect with people in ways that go far beyond streaming platforms.
What I’m most proud of, though, is staying true to my own creative voice. I’ve never wanted to make beats just because they’re trending. I want to create music that feels authentic, evokes emotion, and gives artists the space to tell their own stories.
I think what sets me apart is my approach to production. I pay just as much attention to feeling as I do to sound. Every chord, texture, and arrangement serves a purpose. Whether someone is writing a record, scoring a visual, or simply listening, I want them to feel something when they hear my music.
In terms of your work and the industry, what are some of the changes you are expecting to see over the next five to ten years?
I think we’re entering a really interesting time in music. Technology, especially AI, is making it easier than ever for people to create, which lowers the barrier to entry. I don’t necessarily see that as a bad thing. It’s not my thing, but I do think it means artists and producers will have to find new ways to stand out.
For me, that means never underestimating the independent artist. I love the rapper or singer performing at an open mic, or the artist who’s still writing lyrics in a composition book. I think those voices will always be valuable, and I’ll always be honored to provide the soundscape for their stories.
Over the next five to ten years, I think authenticity is going to become even more valuable. As more music is created quickly and at scale, listeners will gravitate toward artists and producers who have a genuine voice and a clear identity. My creative group, TwXn Flxm3, will continue to push that narrative. We want to connect people through stories, experiences, and emotion, and I don’t think technology can replace that.
I also believe independent creators will continue to have more control over their careers. With direct-to-fan platforms, social media, and new ways to distribute music, artists no longer have to wait for permission to build an audience. That’s something I’m working toward myself. I think that shift has already started, and it’s only going to grow.
At the end of the day, the tools will change, but great music will always come down to making people feel something. I think that’s the part of this industry that will never go out of style.
