Chesternique

Riding high off the success of the single and music video for her latest release “Victory”, Bahamian gospel singer Chesternique is poised to make her mark in the contemporary music industry.

Singing publicly since the age of 8, Chesternique is a seasoned performer. After her parents heard her singing in the shower, she spent the early years of her music career singing in the church choir and performing at small events. Soon she was introduced to Bahamian music mogul Vincent MacDonald, who asked her to be featured on his upcoming “Just Believe” project, which released a single and music video in 2009. A working relationship developed between the two; Chesternique was featured on several projects and served as a backing vocalist during performances. Shortly after the release of “Just Believe”, Chesternique independently released her debut single, “Get My Praise On” in 2010. The success of the song merited Chesternique the opportunity to perform it later that year at the Marlin Awards.

Chesternique continued to hone her vocal skills as the first vocalist for the jazz combo in addition to singing in the chorale during her college years at Taylor Univeristy in Indiana. After graduating in 2011, she returned to the Bahamas and continued to sing with fellow contemporaries until a record deal was offered by Elevation Records. Chesternique triumphantly announced her arrival into the gospel industry with the release of her vibrant debut album Expressions of the Heart in September 2012.

She headlined her first concert shortly after, with Damita Haddon of Detroit as a special guest. Since then she has gone on several tours, performing her hits for sold-out audiences in the United States. Chesternique’s soulful sound and winning drive have garnered her lots of attention in a few short years. Her journey to becoming an international sensation continues as she uses her music to encourage others to enhance their relationships with God.
