Che Ecru

Che Ecru, the Boston-born singer, writer, and producer, has built his own lane in contemporary R&B with haunting melodies, self-produced soundscapes, and unapologetically intimate songwriting. Making a bold choice, he left college in 2015 to fully immerse himself in music, a decision that paid off when he released his breakout track “2 AM” online, quickly drawing in a devoted following.

His 2017 debut, Buries, introduced a raw, atmospheric sound that became his calling card. Recognition followed in 2019 when his single <a href="spotify:album:4jBnX51w2CfeoV3BPcSBj0" data-name="Before I Die">Before I Die</a> was sampled in <a href="spotify:artist:7bXgB6jMjp9ATFy66eO08Z" data-name="Chris Brown">Chris Brown</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3TVXtAsR1Inumwj472S9r4" data-name="Drake">Drake</a>’s chart-topping hit “ <a href="spotify:track:41Y7N9VYjtb7H3lo8SVyC2" data-name="No Guidance (feat.
