Artist: Che'nelle

Aussie Che'nelle is hot!

In an King mag exclusive, the singer/songwriter talks about her upbringing, how she fell into the world of dancehall/reggae, and even her underwear preference.

KING: Born in Malaysia; raised in Australia. How the hell did you get into reggae/dancehall?

Che’nelle: I went looking for something different. Reggae didn’t actually come to Australia until, like, five years ago, but it was so underground. A DJ over there introduced me to it. More hip-hop clubs mix [their music] with reggae; they never used to do that, and now there’s dancehall clubs, as well. So in the span of six years, it just exploded.

KING: Your love of music started way before you claimed Aussie,though, right?

Che'nelle: Yeah. When I was in Malaysia, I was like 4, and I remember watching the Grammy Awards and seeing Whitney Houston singing “One Moment In Time.” I thought it’d be cool to do that. My mom told me that I made her rewind it over and over. My dad had a karaoke bar, and I would go there on the weekends. What’s funny was that I didn’t really grow up with lullabies.

For more of this interview and to see more pics of Che'nelle, cop the latest issue of KING, in stores now.

Music: Kevin Michael

Kevin Michael is an incredible artist signed with Atlantic Records. With an irresistible blend of soul, funk, r&b and pop, he invokes greats from the past while bringing something totally new to the game - he honors the roots of r&b while imagining it anew. He began song-writing while still in his teens.

My personal favorites right now are "It Don't Make Any Difference to Me" and "Vicki Secrets." “It Don’t Make Any Difference To Me” shows both the range of Kevin’s songwriting abilities and the depth of his pride in who he is. “Vicki Secrets” showcases Kevin’s falsetto, and proves him as a singer with considerable sex appeal who knows how to communicate to the ladies.
