CHOW MANE

Chow Mane, born Charles Yan, is a Chinese-American rapper from San Jose, California. His debut EP,Mooncakes, has been considered a landmark release in the Asian-American hip-hop community for its intimate, honest look into the life of growing up as an Asian-identifying person in America. Through a string of singles and videos released on YouTube, Chow Mane solidified himself as a refreshing, multi-talented artist from lo-fi RnB to bouncy trap. His newest project, SIMMERING is set to release early 2019. 

Chow's versatility in his sound knows no bounds. With influences ranging from André 3000, Lil Wayne, Curren$y and Mac Dre to Juicy J and classic southern rap, Chow Mane pays respect to his inspirations in his writing style, striking a fine balance between flourishing imagery, ridiculous wordplay, offbeat flows and fun. While experimenting with playful, moody and melodic sounds to create an engaging, addictive beat, Chow Mane tells a story through relatable characters and cleverly-inserted anecdotes about his family. "Ever Since" signifies a departure from the earlier singles as an Asian-interest rapper.
