WHAT IT IS: Chenayder’s brand of retro lo-fi music is making waves across the industry. Pulling in fans with her enigmatic sound, the 16-year-old Orlando, Fla., native has primarily been recording in her bedroom and teasing the tracks from her high school bathroom, leading to cosigns from the likes of Tyler, The Creator and Clairo, among others. With her emotive vocals and authentic lyrics, Chenayder has already gone viral several times on TikTok in the last year after her single “Fall” gained significant traction following several teaser videos. Since its release, the track has amassed nearly 6m views on Spotify alone and garnered 55m+ TikTok views. Her latest singles, “Paths” and “My My,” serve as a proper introduction to this budding singer-songwriter.
