NYC-based established artists Chaz & Hope are just trying to bring good music back to the world. And while the pair has been collaborating for years, the past few months have been especially fruitful, accelerating their trajectory and bringing them one dance party closer to achieving their mission.
After teasing fans and listeners all summer, Chaz & Hope have finally released their hotly anticipated new single, “Pick N Choose.”
“When you listen to the song, you hear my story of the ups and downs I had with a woman,” shares Chaz. “You get to experience the same thing in Spanish from Hope. You get the best of both worlds without a break in the upbeat rhythm.”
“I really love the simplicity of the song,” adds Hope. “And it’s about more than just a girl. It’s about life. You are always in a position to make a choice. To pick and choose. I know the world will be able to relate to this song.”
Chaz was born in Upstate New York and raised in Spanish Harlem. He was signed by Ford Models and began modeling at eight years old, working with brands Gap, Target, and Toys R Us. At the age of 10, he was cast in The Lion King on Broadway, which led him to spend his teenage years studying under established artists like Chris Brown and Usher. In 2021, Chaz’s song, “Balmain Belt” was featured on the soundtrack for the massively popular NBA 2K video game. Chaz has performed alongside legendary acts such as Boogie, Lil Wayne, Rich the Kid, Migos, and K CAMP.
Also raised in Spanish Harlem, Hope is a multifaceted singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur that has helped revitalize the New York music scene with his straightforward lyrics and airy vocals, captivating audiences in the city's most popular nightclubs. Since releasing his debut single, "3am on Collins Ave," he's opened for artists like French Montana at Club Marquee and performed in major NYC venues such as PHD, Little Sister, TAO Downtown, LAVO, SOBS, and MoMA PS1. Hope's captivating Spanish singles "Dura," "ENCIMA," "ESTA NOCHE," and "SI TE VAS CON ELLA" have further solidified his place as a rising star, impressing both fans and fellow artists alike.
“Sometimes, when you collab with another artist, you might not create a hit the first time,” shares Chaz. “The magic might not be there. But it’s different with Hope. When we connected, the chemistry was instant. And the creativity flowed effortlessly. I believe that in bringing our two sounds together – Reggaeton and Afrobeat – we are creating something new, something people didn’t know they needed. I’m so stoked to share our music with the world.”
Chaz & Hope have generated plenty of excitement in the clubs of New York, from the Meatpacking District to East Hampton. They’ve generated so much excited, in fact, that “Pick N Choose” has already been featured on Hot 97, New York’s premier Hip-Hop station.
“Chaz and I were drawn to each other because we are both genuinely trying to bring good music back to the world,” says Hope. “We’re not relying on industry trends. We aren’t piggybacking. We’re really trying to create magic. And I believe we are.”
Chaz & Hope have signed to Bless More Entertainment, an emerging company co-founded by John Seymour, a native of NYC and CEO of Sweet Chick and Ludlow Coffee Supply.
