Chenél No.1 - Exclusive Intervew

Join Heart of Indie Radio co-host Emme Lentino as we welcome singer-songwriter and mental health advocate Chenél No.1 into our studios.  Chenél No.1 is a South African songwriter that grew up on the sounds of Credence Clearwater Revival and The Shadows. Listening to music and being artistic has always been an integral part of her life. She loves everything about the creative process and has two published romances and several published poems in my native language, Afrikaans. A few years ago she started playing guitar, which sparked the urge to write her own songs.  She released her first single in October 2019 and has been consistent in releasing songs throughout 2020. The music genres she prefers are country, folk, and rock. Recently she has discovered that she also enjoys remixing songs as a bedroom producer and does so under a pseudonym in the EDM scene. Chenél No.1 works as a full-time operations manager, she is married with 3 wonderful girls and pursues her dreams as an independent artist when all family responsibilities are done and everyone goes to sleep. Her latest release, Master of Disguise, is a song that highlights the effects of depression and mental health challenges.
