Chiba was previously signed to an Imprint of Sony, and is now taking his talents elsewhere as an Indi artist.  Chiba is from Waterbury CT and credits his musical influence to 50cent and G-Unit, who burst on the scene in 2003.  As noted by Rolling Stones the production of "dark synth grooves, buzzy keyboards and a persistently funky bounce", complemented by 50cent’s lyrical melodies “an unflappable, laid-back flow".  Other influential artist are as follows: The Fugees, Lauryn Hill, and Jahiem.

Recent concert performances include opening up for Fabolous, Cure$y, French Montana, Wiz Kahlifa, Waka Flaka, Cassidy, Bizarre and Cory Gunz just to name a few.  

We are currently accepting booking offers for Chiba's 2016 Concert tour season that coincides with the genres Chiba represents.  Chiba and his management team are also opened to other opportunities that is available by your organization.  Hopefully we can work together.

MCRE - RAW FOOTAGE OF "NOTHERN LIGHTS" TRIBUTE SONG COMING SOON!

As an artist myself there is nothing better then music to help you through life's highs and lows. More importantly at times to help cope with major loss and pain, music becomes one of the most reliable sources of comfort to a true artist. Instead of escaping pain, music has a way to support you enough to face it and allow yourself to feel in the moment. In that spirit I would like to share this video by MCRE. My condolences for your loss. - SeeS

Tribute to the late, great David Lannan (my father-in-law), who passed away a week ago today. (Full song, "Northern Lights" coming soon) - MCRE
