HOW IT ALL BEGAN
CHEVOBEATZ
Born Cheville Neilesh Samoedj on May 8, 1992, in Velp, Gelderland, Netherlands, ChevoBeatz is a Dutch multi-genre record producer with Surinamese-Hindustani roots. Inspired by his father, Sudesh Kumar (Bonniac SK)—bassist of the well-known Hindustani ensemble ShineArnhem—he was surrounded by music from a young age. He began his musical journey playing bass guitar in his father’s band, laying the groundwork for his later success in music production.
Driven by a deep passion for sound, rhythm, and experimentation, ChevoBeatz expanded his creative vision into music production. While his early influences spanned various genres, it was the energy and rhythm of Caribbean music—especially reggae and dancehall—that captivated him. Inspired by Jamaican culture and its vibrant music scene, he began producing tracks that fused modern global sounds with traditional Caribbean elements, developing a signature style uniquely his own.
As the founder and CEO of ChevoProductions, ChevoBeatz quickly gained recognition in the international music scene, collaborating with both emerging talents and established artists. One of his most notable partnerships is with reggae artist FyaVerse, with whom he has released several successful tracks. Their song “Shatta Gyal” propelled ChevoBeatz into the international spotlight, reaching #1 on Hype TV Jamaica and securing a spot on the Billboard Argentina Hot 100.
In addition to his work with FyaVerse, ChevoBeatz has collaborated with artists from Jamaica, Africa, and beyond, contributing to a new wave of innovative reggae and dancehall productions. His ability to combine cultural authenticity with modern musical trends has made him a respected and in-demand producer across the global reggae, dancehall, and wider music communities.
Well-known for his vibrant presence on social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok, ChevoBeatz has cultivated a loyal following eager for his next creative direction. As he prepares for a highly anticipated return, excitement continues to grow around his upcoming projects.
Constantly evolving and pushing the boundaries of his sound, ChevoBeatz remains committed to his craft and cultural heritage. With an impressive portfolio and a promising future, he stands as a key figure shaping the sound of contemporary global reggae and dancehall music.
