Talented multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter, Choccy Chox has dropped the second single titled, ‘Soulmate’ off his upcoming debut EP, ‘Choices’. Coming off the back of the release of his first single, ‘Falling In Love’ off the upcoming body of work, Choccy shared more about the inspiration behind these singles. “My biggest inspiration right now extends from the people I surround myself with. A song has the ability to bring so many emotions that one can relate to and might have experienced before, so with writing these records, I got into a place that allowed me to see it from my point of view which I thought others could relate to.”

The new single took years to see the light of day with the idea of the song coming to Choccy about 3 years ago. ” I just sat down in my studio and tried to produce my first ever reggaeton beat and this is what I came up with. I instantly fell in love with it and knew I would have to finish it, however, I always thought it would have been written for another artist since I couldn’t never find the right opportunity to release it for myself.”
‘Soulmate’ has allowed Choccy to explore the reggaeton genre, which is different from his usual pop sound that audiences are used to hearing from him. The beauty of a modern-day artist is that they no longer have to be boxed in by just one genre and Choccy has allowed himself to explore that notion through the songs on his debut project. “The EP named Choices stems from being able to explore different types of genres and I’ve always been excited to do this.”
No stranger to the music industry, Choccy has continued to make his mark with a string of chart-topping hits including, ‘Kiss Me Late At Night’ and the experience of being part of SA’s award-winning, GoodLuck. He is forging his own path and it’s the hunger inside of him to continue to make his dreams come true that keeps him going. “We all have our dreams in life and of course, part of mine is performing and writing songs that people love and can sing along too. The other part is to write songs with other artists I look up to and can share a stage with one day,” he explains. “Everytime I think of writing a new record, I am one step closer.” Years of experiences have allowed for many lessons to be learned and when asked about the biggest one, Choccy had this to share, “Never stop learning from others around you, always be open to learning something new because that will help you along your journey.”
SOULMATE IS AVAILABLE ON ALL MAJOR DIGITAL PLATFORMS
