So In Love - Chany
British African R&B artist combines his lyrics and sound to be more of a Pop, 80's funk type of style than his usual vibe of R&B songs that he usually writes and records.Chany was first established by the UK rap underground scene featuring on 'Hooks',by adding his vocals on records, which really took people by surprise by his smooth soulful vocals. One of Chany's biggest achievement was performing along side Boy George at the Dorchester Hotel for the Amy Winehouse Ball.
