churches, weddings, and various musical events.
This motivated him to pursue music in high school. Chenier attended The
Brooklyn Academy of Music where he studied voice and received a partial
scholarship to attend St. Augustine's College in Raleigh, NC. In college
he developed his songwriting, honed his velvet vocal styling and earned
a Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems. Chenier also knew
he had charisma and a voice to captivate an audience.
Chenier has a sound that has drawn comparisons to great vocalists like
Brain McKnight and Babyface but he still feel he has a sound of his own.
Like many great singers and performers he credits been influenced by
some of the greats: Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson,
R.Kelly and Brain McKnight just to name a few. Chenier is finally on his
long awaited career path as a singer, songwriter and performer.
His debut smash single One Fantasy, which he wrote and arranged received

earned Song of the Week for 2 weeks straight with the Worldwide
Songwriter's Association. Chenier was also a top 20 finalist in 2005
Unisong International Songwriter Contest with One Fantasy. Even before
the release of his debut album, he was a nominee for the 2nd annual
Carolina Music Awards and the 3rd annual Queen City Awards for R&B male
artist of the year for 2009. One Fantasy has received frequent airplay
