The Journey Of A Music Artist With Mr. Chenier

To be a singer, songwriter, and entertainer in the music industry, you have to have the drive, passion, and work ethic and Mr. Chenier has is all. Since the age of 5, while many kids enjoyed gaming or watching TV, Chenier Wilson found excitement through singing. In Queens, NY where he was raised, the church was his audience and it was the breeding grounds for his captivating voice.

Chenier goes by Mr. Chenier and has used that name ever since a little girl close to him asked him, "are you going to sing tonight Mr. Chenier?", It stuck with him and now women of all ages are enticed by his stage performances, smooth dance moves, his style and a mind-blowing voice of good southern sex appeal.

His background experience with singing and live performances goes back to the classic school talent shows, singing in gospel choirs, and a scholarship that led him to sing in the St. Augustine's College choir. At that point, he realized, it was time to turn this passion into a career and he did just that!

The once 5-year-old singer is now an adult winning award after award, and opening for legends such as Ginuwine, Kelly Price, and Dru Hill to name a few. The rest is history and there is so much more to come!
