Ché Monét (born Chelsea Monét Payton) is an independent singer, songwriter, and musician from Chicago, IL who has shared her deeply seated passion for music since 6 months old. Ché's influences are Prince, D'Angelo, Beyoncé, Angie Stone, India Arie, John Mayer, H.E.R. and Frank Ocean just to name a few.
Ché's different and unique r&b/soul style stems from growing up in her church's choir, high school choir, and the artists that she listens to. She is a self-taught vocalist that has toured in Chicago, Carbondale(IL), and Champaign(IL), with countless shows to date including seven sold out SoFar shows in her hometown.
During her time in college at Southern Illinois University - Carbondale, where she graduated with a B.S. in Marketing, Ché released her first 7 song EP entitled "Genesis" on SoundCloud. Her 7 song EP showed her growth from 18-21 in singing and writing. The name Gensis came from the biblical name as well as the meaning for the project.
The "Genesis" artist has an unmatched singing style and a rare writing approach that sets her a part from other artists. You can listen to "Gensis" here: https://soundcloud.com/chemonet/sets/genesis
