Iranian-born, New Zealand-bred, DIY artist, songwriter, producer and creative director CHAII releases ‘Fun’, the third single from her upcoming album.
Following on from CHAII’s 2023 uplifting self-belief anthem ‘Main Thing’ and ‘Drippin In Gold’, which is about staying laser-focused on your dreams, ‘Fun’ is a more light hearted reminder to enjoy life.
On making the song, CHAII says “‘Fun’ came to life in the midst of enjoying NZ summer and subconsciously I was excited about everything that’s about to happen this year. It’s the ‘I'm just getting started’ song.”
With beats produced by Frank Keys, and a visualiser that was edited by CHAII from behind the scenes footage of her photoshoot, it’s a simple and fun way to pump you up for what’s to come.
Last year CHAII named as the first-ever NZ Spotify RADAR artist, garnering her worldwide attention via the emerging artist program. Since then, she’s enjoyed further DSP support through countless playlists, including Spotify’s New Music Friday in eleven countries, Apple Music’s New Music Daily and Rap Life playlists in both AU and NZ and many more.
Having caught the eye of high-profile brands early on, CHAII’s songs have also featured in soundtracks for FIFA, Fortnite and Tony Hawk, as well as advertising campaigns for iPhone, Google, FENDI and KIA, and featured in Marvel’s Ms Marvel, Inventing Anna, Wellmania and Netflix original film The Old Guard.
Now, 2024 is shaping up to be a massive year for CHAII, with upcoming performances at SXSW Austin, Colossus Festival NYC, Mercury Lounge NYC, School Night LA and MBC Persia TV London, before releasing her debut album later this year.
‘Fun' releases today, Thursday 7th of March, via Aotearoa, New Zealand indie label Particle Recordings in partnership with BMG Global.
