Биография

Recording artist Chanel West Coast is a truly one-of-a-kind talent. You might recognize her as the sharp, sweet, and vivacious blonde from such MTV hit shows as Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory and Ridiculousness -- but don’t let that fool you; Chanel is a passionate musical artist with a true love and talent for self-expression. Chanel avidly pursued singing and dancing lessons from a young age. Her love of performance grew, fueled by partaking in (and ultimately winning) competitive hip-hop dance team competitions. Immersing herself in hip-hop and picking up skateboarding in the process, she formally got behind the mic in none other than the legendary Marvin Gaye's Hollywood Hills studio. At 17, she launched her first MySpace Music page -- under the moniker “Chanel West Coast” -- and her musical career took off. In 2012, multi-platinum recording artist and Young Money Records founder Lil Wayne personally invited Chanel to his Miami studio to play him some of her music. Impressed by what he heard, he immediately signed Chanel to his popular Young Money label – home of superstar artists Drake and Nicki Minaj. Following the success of her early projects and a BET Award in 2014, Chanel now releases music independently, maintaining millions of streams and downloads. Her new album is due in summer 2020. In the words of Chanel West Coast herself: “The sky isn’t the limit, it’s only the view."
