Everyone who knew Chaz back when could tell he was out to make a change in this industry or die trying. Always the one in charge of every social outreach program, club, or organized protest, by choice!

Now that he’s really getting his career going, Chaz wants more than anything to keep his community with him 100%.

He’s not a favorite of the Powers That Be—famously uncooperative when it comes to endorsements or public appearances. He insists on prioritizing physical music releases over relying on the streaming algorithm.

He won’t shill for anything he doesn’t stand for, and don’t even try to argue with him—he can out debate anyone.

His ambition is rooted in his desire to help the people he loves, the people he came up with. Having the key to the city is a bigger accomplishment to him than having the proverbial key to super-stardom, because he wants to help create change that he can actually SEE!

His superpower is Earth mineral manipulation, perfect for an eternal environmentalist like him. He could make diamonds with his power, but he’s way more interested in creating sustainable tools from the dirt and RETURNING them to the dirt.
