CHILLENEUM™ Born William S Johnson III to north side St. Louis was moved by music at an early age.
Through his parents influence his early childhood was flooded with the compositions of such greats as: Isaac Hayes, Grover Washington, Herby Hancock, Rufus and Chaka Kahn, Donald Byrd, Curtis Mayfield and many other live music legends that have become a sampler’s dream in these modern times.
Never having much instruction with any live instruments back in the day, poetry was his only outlet besides just listening to music, beating on anything that would make a sound and make anyone listening nod their head.
CHILLENEUM™’S adolescent years in hip hop were spent deejaying parties, competing in local talent shows and wowing any young MC’s that felt they were up for the challenge.
CHILLENEUM™’S goals are to perform collaborations with other independent musicians all over the world and give artists world wide the ability to sell their music independently.
