Chantre's musical journey began with his mother's eclectic music collection, featuring artists like Prince, Mariah Carey, and Suzanne Vega. Over the years, exposure to radio and TV broadened his influences to include rap, R&B, and 90s house music. His inspirations span from Prince and Kate Bush to Aphex Twin, alongside a deep appreciation for visual artists such as Philip Guston and Brâncuși.
