About the Artist

Chase Shakur is an Atlanta-born artist whose musical performance is a compelling blend of R&B, hip-hop, funk, soul, and pop, all woven into a forward-thinking sound deeply rooted in Black culture. His live shows are immersive experiences that reflect his journey from a challenging period of couch-surfing and studio sessions to becoming a defining voice in contemporary R&B. Shakur's music often explores themes of vulnerability and resilience, particularly evident in his project "it's not you, it's me," which delves into life after a toxic relationship with a raw, diary-like honesty. Fans appreciate his steely determination and emotional depth, which translate into performances that are both intimate and powerful. A notable aspect of his story is his decision to drop out of school to pursue music full-time, a move that led to significant personal hardships but ultimately forged his unique artistic path. His shows are marked by a blend of soulful melodies and innovative production, creating an atmosphere that is both reflective and energizing, with moments that feel like a conversation between the artist and his audience, occasionally sprinkled with a wry sense of humor that keeps the experience engaging and authentic.
