It’s perhaps a safe bet that performance was her strongest module as she distinguished herself in this area at Reggae Star Factor 2014. She is a multi- instrumentalist who plays the guitar, bass, piano, clarinet, recorder and she knows her way around the studio very well having engineered and mixed many of her own recordings and others she has produced. CHARDEL RHODEN C hardel is not a wannabe. It has taken many years of hard work and dedication to get her to this point. She took her quest for a successful musical career so seriously that she pursued and successfully completed a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Commercial Music at Westminster University. One of her tutors was music academic Mykael Riley, one of the founding members of Steel Pulse. Among the disciplines she learnt were music industry, copyright law, It is easy to understand why she won the Reggae Star Factor; she has an incredible ability to bring it all together. Another interesting side to Chardel is her ability to sing in French and Arabic. A world tour with Natacha Atlas helped her to develop those skills and gave her the chance to appear on stages in the Middle East including Lebanon and Turkey, Croatia, France, Netherlands, Belgium, New York, Canada and many other countries. What’s next for Chardel and what does the longer term future hold? In ten years time, Chardel would like have at least three successful albums, meaning they have made it to the Top 10 internationally. She wants to be the UK’s number one reggae artiste and be winning prestigious awards. She would also like to be touring and be fulfilled in her life, enjoying the love and delights of her children.
