If we’re being honest, no one’s ever really just heard Chantae Cann. In truth, you experience her. She opens her mouth and 10,000 hours of studied mononymous legends filter through that voice, The Stevie. The Chaka. The Erykah, Jill, India and Brandy. It’s the church in her work. The courageous blend of an authentic soul choosing to exist in the midst of an often inauthentic industry. Yet somehow she chooses to find strength in her vulnerability. Chantae Cann, the artist, is both jazz and soul. Rooted in gospel, reflective of world rhythm and hip hop. Her debut release, Journey to Golden, landed at #1 on the iTunes Jazz Charts and #7 on the Jazz Billboard Charts, and was a much welcomed introduction to the songstress. By the time of her follow-up release, Sol Empowered, we were well into the story. Earning #8 on the Jazz Billboard Charts. Chantae, if nothing else, knows how to make a connection. Whether it’s the parents who divulge the fact that their kids listen to and sing along to her songs, or those who express that Chantae’s artistry has gotten them through some pretty tough times. Chantae makes music that serves as a safe haven for those seeking respite and reformation. She’s collaborated with PJ Morton, Masego, Tarriona 'Tank' Ball, Snarky Puppy, The Foreign Exchange , and Jonathan McReynolds. Chantae has electrified stages with Cory Henry, Robert Glasper and Marcus Miller. She’s opened up for India.Arie, Tweet, Avery Sunshine and Lalah Hathaway.
