IN CONVERSATION WITH CHMBA

Loading player...
Multi-hyphenated DJ, producer, and activist Chmba returns with her latest single, “Dream,” a genre-blending, uplifting track that marks her first solo release after a reflective creative pause. Fusing ancestral percussion, orchestral strings, and affirmational vocals, “Dream” serves as a sonic offering rooted in trust, joy, and the journey toward self-rediscovery.

Following a whirlwind year of international DJ sets, including Madonna’s Oscars Afterparty, the Smithsonian Museum's Summer Solstice, Gates Foundation Goalkeepers, Daybreaker, the World Economic Forum, and Future Horizon, Chmba took time off from releasing music to hone her sound and reconnect with her artistic core.“Dream” opens with the Yoruba chant “Ase Ase Ìyá Ìyá,” invoking spiritual alignment and affirming power. The track’s standout lyrics, “Sometimes things don’t go the way we want / but that don’t mean we are giving up,” underline its message of perseverance and faith in one’s path.
