From SA to the USA: Chané B's International Music Breakthrough

Loading player...
In this inspiring interview, South African artist Chané (now known professionally as Chané B) details her unexpected and successful two-month trip to the United States. What began as a church-connected visit to Florida evolved into a major music breakthrough, connecting her with a Dove Award-winning producer (Andy Anderson, who has worked with TobyMac) and opening doors to the international market.

The discussion centers on her new single, "Brand New Heart," a hopeful pop anthem about surrender and spiritual renewal. Chané B reveals the deeply personal inspiration behind the song's vibrant, flower-filled music video: a vision of heaven described by her late brother, who passed away just four months prior.

Looking ahead, she announces she is working on two new songs—one a powerful, Lauren Daigle-style ballad and another with a secret "big twist"—and will be splitting her time between the South African and US markets. She also highlights her work in championing other local artists through her media team. The artist's name change to Chané B marks this new, international chapter in her career.
