Chi Mharaj

Exclusive live performance by heavy pop singer Chi Mharaj.

Chi-Mharaj, born on 22 April, 1986, knew at a very young age that she was born to be a singer. She was raised on music, being the love child of an American musician father and a mother who sang backing vocals and created costumes for musicians. She started singing when she started talking, and never stopped, although singing lessons officially started at the tender age of 9.

Her early school years were filled with dancing, and in high school she took it a step further – she joined a troupe that toured throughout the country. At 16 years old, she created a video clip dealing with the subject of ‘respect’ for a school project, and it was used in several schools. Shortly after, she formed her own girl group, performing across the Netherlands as ChiLaNz. After 3 years of touring, Chi-Mharaj decided it was time to go solo. She started working with her uncle Martino Latupeirissa, a well- known percussionist, producer, songwriter and singer. Their close collaboration has now resulted in a fresh new sound, with a new band featuring some of Holland’s brightest musicians.

Chi-Mharaj, very sweet and soft-spoken offstage, turns into a front woman on fire when she rocks the stage. Her style of music is known as ‘heavy pop’ – blending classic funk, r&b, and soul with the freshest beats and vibes of today. Don’t be fooled by her gorgeous looks – yes, she could be a model, but she moves the crowd like only a rock diva can – you’ll be blown away by her energy and passion, with a voice that only a precious few can call their own. It‘s time you got to know the phenomenon known as Chi-Mharaj.
