Early Life
Chelsea Chanel Dudley was born on September 1st, 1988, in Los Angeles, California. She was raised in both New York City and North Hollywood and split her time between each city in order to spend time with her mother and her father, who lived apart. Because her father was a DJ, she was exposed to the music industry from a very young age.
She regularly attended nightclubs with her father and took singing and dance lessons with his encouragement. As a young girl, she also became interested in rap music and subsequently started creating her own raps by the age of 14. Chanel attended high school for a few years but ultimately finished her education through homeschooling.
