A.CHAL

Alejandro Chal, a Peruvian-born singer, songwriter, and producer, offers a moody, atmospheric take on electronic R & B under the name A.CHAL with half-sung lyrics & half-rapped, frequently moving between English and Spanish.

A.CHAL began rapping at a young age and soon began experimenting with beats with a neighborhood friend. Relocating to Los Angeles in 2010 to pursue a music career, Chal self-released his debut EP, 2013's Ballroom Riots, which caught the interest of Sony ATV, and signed him to a publishing deal. His 2015 single 'Round Whippin'' found widespread exposure when Beats1 DJ Zane Lowe gave the song a world premiere on his show. It was a significant boon to Chal's career, and by year's end, he'd racked up numerous critical accolades. 'Round Whippin' was included on his 2016 debut full-length, Welcome to GAZI, introducing his hazy, nocturnal sound to an even larger audience. Following a collaboration with French producer STWO, Chal began issuing singles in advance of his next LP, ON GAZ, which arrived in 2017 and included the hit 'Love N Hennessy,' remixed with guests 2 Chainz and Nicky Jam. In 2018, Chal signed with Epic. His first output for the label arrived later that year via EP Exotigaz.
