Channel Tres Live in Concert

Born in Compton, California, Channel Tres has been interested in music since a young age, having played drums in his churche's choir as a child. Signing with godmode music in 2018, Channel Tres has toured with popular artists like Robyn, Vince Staples and Childish Gambino. Channel Tres has cited Outkast, Pharrell Williams and Kanye West as inspirations for helping him find himself as a young man, stating in an interview with Billboard, "Their sound, their fashion style ... when they came out, they were the most different thing at the time, and that had the most impact because they shifted the culture forward, especially for Black people." After hearing about how traveling helped Kendrick Lamar grow his art, Channel Tres left California and studied music at a private Christian university in Tulsa, Oklahoma. When he returned to California he began producing music for Duckwrth, Wale, Kehlani, and others. Channel Tres currently has more than 2.5 million monthly Spotify listeners with "Topdown" leading the pack with more than 34 million streams.
