Meet Cheech DeLaFronto
The Musical Journey
Born in Brooklyn and raised between Brooklyn and Atlanta in the early 90s - 02', Cheech was destined to connect with music. He began experimenting with Hip-Hop as young as 10 years old, with the help of his father, who had a studio built in the back of a family friend's car shop. This early exposure sparked the beginning of his fiery passion as an artist. And led to him honing in on his skills in self-engineering musician, a craft he continues to perfect to this day.
My Musical Style
Growing up with West Indian parents from Grenada, Cheech was immersed in the vibrant sounds of Soca, Reggae, Dancehall, and Hip-Hop. Artists like Buju Banton, Mighty Sparrow, and Vybz Kartel played a pivotal role in shaping his early love for music. During his teenage years, the influence of artists such as Curren$y, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, and 50 Cent further inspired his evolution into the artist he is today.
My Collaborations
Over the years, I have collaborated with a diverse range of artists, including singers, songwriters, and musicians such as Jay Critch, Jimi Tents, Theo Ferragamo (OGG), Kirk Knight, and Mike G (OFWGKTA). For an artist like Cheech, collaboration is essential, and he remains open to working with creators of all styles and backgrounds.
