Unleashing 'Pawesome' Grooves: CHKLZ's Journey From Canine Compassion To Touring Dominance

CHKLZ

| April 19, 2024

As CHKLZ sets its sights on a whirlwind of shows in 2024, the duo extends an open invitation to fans and newcomers alike to embrace the 'Pawesomeness' that defines their journey.

Rooted in a vibrant community of 'Doggies,' where unity and belonging transcend mere fandom, CHKLZ embodies an upbeat, fun-loving spirit that infuses their music and electrifies their live performances.

CHKLZThe genesis of CHKLZ traces back to a transformative encounter with a small, white dog named Charlie on a scorching Fourth of July in downtown Phoenix.

Rescued from adversity, Charlie, affectionately dubbed "Chuckles," became the inspiration behind the duo's mission to foster a music community founded on acceptance and camaraderie.

With DJ iLL Choppo and LeMarshawn Jean at its helm, CHKLZ's unique moniker symbolizes their innovative approach to music, blending traditional live instrumentation with electronic elements.

Drawing from DJ iLL Choppo's extensive experience as a touring drummer, CHKLZ's sound is characterized by rich, layered rhythms infused with live percussion and FX—a dynamic fusion that captivates audiences and defines their genre, Groove Fiesta.

Despite lacking traditional representation, CHKLZ has carved a remarkable path, gracing stages across the globe and collaborating with artists like Okilly Dokilly on remixes of hit tracks.

Their standout performance at Friendzy Fest 2023 in Canada marked a pivotal moment, propelling them into the spotlight and fueling a surge in festival bookings and headliner gigs. 

As they continue to tour and produce music, CHKLZ remains grounded in the spirit of Charlie, uniting audiences worldwide under the banner of Groove Fiesta.

Their story serves as a testament to the transformative power of music and the enduring connections it fosters among people from all walks of life. With upcoming IDs and performances at Arizona's Earth Jam and Art House, CHKLZ is an artist who should be on every dance music fan's radar.
