Chinky Bangz, born Raven Estrella in the Bronx and now based in New Rochelle, is a genre-bending artist known for fusing Pop and Caribbean influences into a sound that’s both bold and emotionally raw. Since stepping into music in 2012, Chinky has carved out a space for herself with her unapologetic authenticity and vibrant storytelling. Her artist name, born in the energy of the club and the high that music gives her, reflects her carefree yet powerful persona.
A standout moment in her career was performing for the United Nations—an accomplishment that showcases not just her talent, but her global appeal. Drawing inspiration from icons like JoJo, Mary J. Blige, Keyshia Cole, and Boyz II Men, Chinky infuses her music with soul, heartbreak, and resilience. Her latest release, inspired by the emotional journey of separating from her daughter’s father, dives deep into themes of self-liberation and growth.
With her unique blend of genres and fearless voice, Chinky Bangz is more than an artist—she’s a wave of truth, healing, and heat ready to move the world.
