Chenayder discusses her development from a shy teenager recording music during the pandemic into an emerging Haitian-American singer-songwriter preparing to release her debut album, ‘Outdated’. The interview highlights how an early breakout single, growing industry support and recent touring experience have helped her become more confident as both an artist and performer.

Born in Orlando, Chenayder began releasing music while at high school and drew inspiration from vintage vocal groups such as The Four Freshmen and Anita Kerr, alongside beats found online. Her 2022 debut single ‘Fall’ became a sleeper hit, leading to two EPs, endorsements from artists including SZA and Tyler, the Creator, and a support slot on redveil’s 2026 Sankofa Tour; she says the full-length tour taught her vocal care, crowd interaction and the differing energy of audiences in each city.
