Chopstar, a 25-year-old Maryland-based producer turned artist, began his journey in music by uploading beats to YouTube in 2017. Over the next three years, he gained traction with both local and non-local artists, establishing himself in the underground scene. However, feeling that simply producing beats wasn’t enough, Chopstar made a bold shift towards full song creation—becoming involved in every aspect of the music-making process. He sought deeper, more personal connections with artists, crafting a unique sound that stood out from the mass-produced beats available online. As a key figure in shaping the DMV (D.C., Maryland, Virginia) sound, Chopstar has worked with notable artists like Willtharapper, Baby Fifty, Goonew, Kayvo, Keezah, and more. He has also extended his reach beyond the region, collaborating with artists like Shawny Bin Laden and RockGangDah, further solidifying his presence in the broader music landscape. In recent years, Chopstar has shifted focus to his own artistry. Most of his recent releases have been self-produced and self-recorded, showcasing his evolving style and commitment to crafting his own narrative. While he continues to collaborate with artists, he’s become increasingly focused on his solo work, and he has hinted that fans can expect much more from him in the coming year.
