Chandlar…… the name sounds familiar? Maybe you’ve caught one of his performances on 106 & Park, BAM Café in Brooklyn, SOBs or one Sunday evening at The Village Underground, or maybe you were listing to Music Choice R&B station or XM radio. Let’s face it, he’s hot!!. Chandlar is a bonafide musical triple threat: Singer, Songwriter and Producer.
Born and raised on Chicago’s West Side Chandlar made the bold move to New York City to pursue his passion for music. Chandlar released his debut Strong Emotions in 2004 with the idea of making his presence official in the recording and entertainment industry.
Since the release of Strong Emotions, Chandlar has continued to perform across the country opening for acts like Jaheim, R. Kelly and Missy Elliott.
In 2006 Chandlar was introduced to Terrance Hannah, a songwriter / Artist development Manager who needed someone to demo his songs. After recording several records for placement consideration, the two decided to formally work together as Artist and Manager.
Chandlar became a Quarter Management Artist in 2007 and the first Artist on the Q25Music Group Artist roster. In 2008, Q25Music Group released
CHANDLAR – Finally Got My Swagga Back with the first single “Never Thought”.
The record was introduced to Music Choice radio in May, 2008 and has been on the Music Choice R&B soul charts ever since, peaking at #25 and getting approximately 20 or more spins a week. Chandlar has had the opportunity to have his music played on XM Sattlelite radio and performed live on Power 99 / WUSL, in Philadelphia.
