Biography
Born in Atlanta, Georgia, Cody Chesnutt began performing at the age of 20, exploring his musical sound as a mixture of rock and southern soul. He formed the band The Crosswalk in 1996 and their debut album, 'Venus Loves a Melody', earned them a record deal with Hollywood Records, but they were dropped before the album could be released. Cody decided to go it alone and put his mind to his debut solo album 'The Headphone Masterpiece'.
The album was released in 2002 and featured the hit single 'The Seed' which, when covered by Grammy Award winners The Roots as 'The Seed 2.0', promoted Cody and his music to a whole new audience; the album was also nominated for the Shortlist Music Prize.
Following a 2007 tour, Cody took a step back from the business, opting to focus on home and family life for a while, returning three years later with a brand new EP titled 'Black Skin No Value'. His 2011 album 'Landing On a Hundred' which featured the tracks 'What Kind of Cool', 'Everybody's Brother' and 'Don't Wanna Go the Other Way', received positive critic reviews and marked Cody's return to music. With new tunes in his head and a wealth of experiences to his name, Cody set about writing his fourth full-length album 'My Love Divine Degree' which was released in 2017.
