For today’s episode, Feeling the Flow, The Gateway is proud to welcome Chandler! Chandler is best known for his viral smasher “Hot Pocket” — a collaboration with critically-acclaimed producer Matty Beats and his consistent tracks with Fellaair. Originally from Newport News, VA, he grew up on the likes of Pharrell Williams, Timbaland, Missy Elliott and more. This garnered a love for the wide variety of sub-genres within rap and hip-hop. He began writing lyrics at the age of nine and never put the pen down. He stopped putting out his solo work publicly in 2014 to pursue an education at VCU and a career as a rock band’s drummer. During his time in that role, he played on bills that featured acts like DRAM, Dirty Heads, The Knocks, Biz Markie, etc. That band has been mentioned in The Huffington Post and The Chicago Tribune. In 2018, Chandler left the group and relocated to take on New York City and the entertainment industry. After appearing in theatre productions in Manhattan and Brooklyn through early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic acted as reason for Chandler to make a public return to his most beloved art form. So in 2021, he did. In 2022, with songs like “mister” & “DOUBLE GOOSE”, Chandler created a following that showed him support he had yet to see. In 2023, Chandler continues to sharpen his pen by starting the year off with Stafford Beats-produced “NEW SONG MIX 1 SORRY I DONT KNOW THE NAME”.
