Chin

Hailing from Newham, East London; Chin, born Chinedu Ofoegbu in 1998, first emerged onto the UK scene in 2017, during its rapidly growing “Afroswing” phase with the song ‘Pick You Up’, which was quickly picked up and featured on iTunes’ UK Rap and Afroswing playlists.


After a 2 year hiatus due to various personal troubles and issues, Chin reappeared with the tracks ‘Earned It’ & ‘Billionaire’ in 2019, with the former being a club ready hit, encompassing a unique UK Wave/Trap sound that signalled a move away from the Afroswing-oriented sound of his previous release & the latter showcasing a more Pop-Based and Radio ready side of himself as an artist. Sonically, both releases differed greatly. If one thing was certain however, it was that during his 2 year hiatus, Chin never stopped working on moulding and improving his sound.
His releases continued into 2020 when in June he released yet another song, entitled ‘Gone’, once again employing a club ready trap instrumental glazed with baritone vocals and juxtaposed with high-pitched adlibs that set the tone throughout the track.


Alluding to his team, a creative collective coming out of London coined “The XXV (The 25)”, it is clear that Chin is a hidden gem in the ever expanding UK scene, one in the process of building something big. Still 22 years young & refusing to be constrained by genres, labels or pitfalls, it will be intriguing to see exactly what the future holds.
