Today we’d like to introduce you to DamnChenet.
Hi DamnChenet, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Born in Okap Haiti and raised in Miami Florida, my journey into the world of music production and engineering began with a humble gift from my mother a computer and a studio microphone that I assembled myself. From there, my passion for music and technology drove me to practice relentlessly, honing my skills until I reached the level of excellence I have today.
Despite outside influences tempting me towards a different path, I remained dedicated to my craft and immersed myself in the world of gospel music, becoming a touring producer, and engineer, for a local gospel record label. Over the next five years, I traveled extensively, even learning to play the drums along the way.
In 2012, I picked up a camera and began exploring the realms of photography and filmmaking. My ability to capture the essence of events and translate them into visual storytelling became an integral part of my multifaceted career. I realized that engineering, producing, photography, and videography came naturally to me.
I quickly established myself in various studios and private events around the world, eventually founding my own business, Chenet Media Empire LLC. By 2018, my company gained popularity in corporate events and the wedding industry, collaborating with renowned companies, celebrity photographers, videographers, and event planners. This experience further honed my skills, allowing me to seamlessly integrate photography and videography into my repertoire.
In 2017, I expanded my empire by opening my first recording studio and record label, Track Booming, which quickly attracted attention from major artists like Lil Scrappy. Collaborating with fellow producers and engineers, my reputation continued to grow, catching the eye of AyoJuan, ( Dj Khaled’s engineer) a prominent figure in the music industry. This led to a partnership that led to me working as an audio engineer at Khaled’s recording studio and later opening my studio next door.
Surrounded by the right team, my creativity began to flourish leading to collaborations with notable artists such as YNW Melly, King Von, and King Combs. In addition to my achievements in music production and engineering, I’ve embarked on a mission to cultivate a new sound in Miami for the next generation of artists.
Recognizing the wealth of talent in my hometown, I’ve made it my mission to sign and develop local Miami artists, fostering a vibrant and diverse music scene. The first artist signed to Track Booming is Blacc London, a Miami native/ Haitian female rapper with a powerful story to share. Blacc London’s unique blend of raw talent, authenticity, and compelling storytelling sets her apart in the music industry, and I’m honored to have her as part of the Track Booming family.
Furthermore, my vision extends beyond Miami’s borders, as I’ve expanded my label globally, signing talented artists from Africa and Haiti. By embracing artists from different cultural backgrounds, I aim to create a melting pot of musical influences, enriching the creative landscape and showcasing the richness of global music culture.
With a keen eye for talent and a passion for innovation, I’m not only shaping the sound of Miami but also making a meaningful impact on the global music industry. Through my label Trackbooming, I’m providing a platform for emerging artists to thrive, fostering collaboration and cross-cultural exchange, and ultimately leaving an indelible mark on the world of music.
I’m currently pouring my efforts into CME Kidz (Creative Minds Education), my non-profit organization aimed at teaching the new generation about music production, photography, and more. This initiative holds a special place in my heart because it reflects my journey. Music helped me navigate challenges and find solace during my upbringing. Now, I want to extend that same support to the youth in my city, empowering them to channel their creativity for mental health and personal growth.
Through CME Kidz, I’ll be sharing my expertise and passion for music production and photography, providing children with the tools and knowledge to express themselves creatively. By fostering a positive outlet for self-expression, I hope to instill confidence, resilience, and a sense of belonging in the next generation.
Ultimately, CME Kidz represents my commitment to giving back to my community and making a tangible difference in the lives of the next generation of creatives. I believe that by nurturing their creative talents, we can inspire them to overcome obstacles, dream big, and reach their full potential.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Like any journey, my path in the music industry has had its share of challenges and obstacles. One of the most significant struggles I faced early on was balancing my passion for music with external pressures and influences. Growing up in an environment where distractions and negative influences were prevalent, I had to make conscious choices to stay focused on my goals and resist temptations that could have derailed my progress.
Additionally, building a career in a competitive industry like music production and engineering requires perseverance and resilience. There were times when I faced setbacks and rejections, whether it was from clients, collaborators, or industry gatekeepers. However, I chose to view these challenges as opportunities for growth and learning. I learned what NOT to do.
Another hurdle I encountered was navigating the complexities of entrepreneurship when I ventured into founding my own businesses and non-profit organization. Building and managing a company involves numerous responsibilities, from financial management to marketing and operations. It required a steep learning curve and demanded dedication and adaptability to overcome the inevitable obstacles along the way.
Despite these challenges, I’m grateful for the journey and the lessons learned. Each setback and struggle has ultimately fueled my determination and shaped me into the person I am today. Through resilience, perseverance, and a steadfast commitment to my vision, I’ve been able to overcome obstacles and continue moving forward on the path toward realizing my purpose.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
