CHANTAL

AfroPop & AfroUrban Singer – Songwriter from Italy

Chantal is an Italian-French singer-songwriter who has ventured into

diverse genres
and international environments over the years.
In 2017 she embarked on this career with her debut single ‘Fuck it All,’ an

international
project that saw Italy, Switzerland and France come together.

In 2019 she conceived several projects, including her second unreleased English-
language single ‘5 AM’, and the creation of

the Italian and French project ‘Gate07’. The

tracks represent a mƩlange of Afro Pop music, written in two languages:

Italian and
French. From this project several singles are continuously released:

‘Non Sai Niente’ (2019), ‘Lune et Soleil’ (2020), ‘Chez Moi’ (2021), ‘Easy'(2021) and

‘Monaco Pais’
(2022) – The tracks and video clips, conceived by the artist herself, are the

result of her
foreign journey and refer to a period of escapism and identity research,

oscillating
between perdition and unbridled fun,

and continuous search for a place of belonging.
In 2019/20 Chantal takes part in the Coca-Cola Future Legend contest and

qualifies
among the 24 finalists in Italy, bringing her unreleased song ‘Ginevraā€™.
Her passion for writing has led her to speak 4 languages fluently and live in

5 different
countries (Italy, France, Switzerland, Spanga and Greece). From all this comes

her
international project and the desire to mix different languages and linguistic

influences
in her music.
Now Chantal will be distributing through NoOx Recordings / FUGA her new

project
together with the Management, Creative Direction & Publishing team of NoOx
Worldwide.
