About ME

Luis Azocar, professionally known as “Chamo NYC” is a singer-songwriter from Venezuela. Chamo NYC is an Urban Latin, Hip Hop, and Trap artist, rapping in both Spanish and English. His lyrics depend on the mood of the day and his experiences making his music feel natural and organic. His original and versatile music is a passion that comes straight from his heart.

Starting in 2016, Chamo NYC would write lyrics without any beats and worked acapella. He took on freestyling and posted himself on Instagram. As this grew and others followed, Chamo NYC and others decided to put up a flyer for people to show up and freestyle in a small park in Queens. Watching kids trying to participate and having an audience, it motivated him to organize and participate in freestyle battles. This event grew, moving to a park in Flushing and offering small trophies and other prizes. Chamo NYC was able to help build a small freestyle community in Queens. Loving freestyle, but knowing that it was not his strength, Chamo NYC met producers and people that made music and knew that it was where he belonged. He began to work with them as well as independently, distributing his own music. Deciding to get into a bigger project, he dropped his independent mixtape “Old Enough” April 9th, 2021. Meeting Xermane, a music producer, Chamo NYC began to work with him and NSY BOY. 

From dreaming of being a rapper to it becoming his reality, he uses music to express himself. He begins in the studio, removing himself from any personal problems and life around him, and gets a beat, it being the most important part. Thinking about the vibes the beat gives off, he begins on writing, getting into the flow and everything coming out easily. This is when he knows he has something special and the creative process begins. Enjoying the process, he is influenced by his parents, doing it for them, himself, his country, and the teenagers there with talent but no opportunity to get noticed.
