about the artist

Chauncey (@chaunceychnc) is a stylist, songwriter, mannequin, muse, and good friend. SLZL says, “Chauncey reminds all that the biggest artistic creation we can render is that of the self. His own body is his primary artistic production, the continuously blank page and canvas that he shapes into something new and exciting. All of his other art comes out of the constant self-fashioning and creating he does.”

Chauncey CHNC: “an expressionist with enigmatic and delicate words, with a lyrical style filtering anywhere between lullaby and sticky pop. Often picturing someone trying to escape themselves but ending up face to face with a mirror. As a Libra, the chase of balance and the highs and lows, the lust for perfection, inform the unique perspective of a life led and lived in dualities: the mixture of naïveté and cunning, neediness and self-possession, innocence and eroticism, radiance and damage. In a world where perception is reality, constant yearning for self-reflection to process trauma and monitor growth in hopes to inspire others, to find beauty in the ugliness, life after death, and reality in the surreal.” 



When I'm lonely -you'll be lonely too 
Not as retaliation But result .
I had to push farther 
Taking me farther from you 
A blueprint of the blues -only I knew 
Imprinted on my soul. Bleeding unto you 
Tokyo Bedstuy New Orleans 
Manhattan Madison and Minneapolis 
Clouds of illicit smoke -in illicit places 
Stress relief with dangerous folk -in dangerous spaces
A talk with mommy to get me right 
An empty bank account - but a lust for life 
A crisis to be resolved, when I'm happy 
You'll be happy too
Blueprint for the blues, lady sings me thru
Makeupless- black and blue 
Painted on a city wall. Each day ends, every leaf falls
C'est bon- a buffet for fools
Bon apetit- avoiding the news
Porn, sunrise- cab, then train to work 
Suicide for inspiration
Regrets felt in vain 
Spectacle. Red lightning bolt. Dizzy on the train
Barbed wire on my genitals
Refurbished demons- driving me insane 
Insecure control freak in the modern age with a modern mind 
Terribly confusing commandments - and unwarranted superiority 
Taking an eternity to unbind 
Shut off the phone, turn off the show 
Mushroom caps to relax 
Nothing says I love you 
When sanity is under attack
I have to push farther
It may take me farther from you
Tokyo Bedstuy New Orleans Manhattan Madsion
And Minneapolis too
A talk with mommy to get me right 
An empty bank account and a lust for life 
I hold hope you'll come thru
When I'm lonely , you'll be lonely too 
Not as retaliation 
but 
As result 
I accept
its all my fault
