Chuckie Akenz

Chuckie Nguyen (January 21, 1986), better known by his stage name of C-A, and formerly as Chuckie Akenz, is a Canadian rapper of Vietnamese descent. He grew up in the Jane and Finch neighbourhood of Toronto, Canada. Chuckie rose to notoriety with the filming of an amateur rap video called "You Got Beef?" The music video was widely viewed on the internet, being both praised and criticized. He is considered one of the very first well known Asian hip-hop artists around the world. Chuckie was featured on two national documentaries talking about his life and how it was growing up as an Asian youth in urban Toronto. Chuckie at this time also had 3 music videos rotated on Much Music as well as several media features.

After leaving the music scene officially in 2009, Chuckie began pursuing other avenues in his life.

The son of Vietnamese refugees, Chuckie grew up in the Jane and Finch neighbourhood of Toronto. He grew up with his mother, and his father was not present in his childhood after his parents split at an early age. Chuckie found music in his teenage years as an outlet to express his upbringings in the Jane and Finch community. His music expressed a lot of what teenage youth in the area went through during the time and despite the sometimes negative view, it always had a positive message behind it.

As of today Chuckie is a current serving member of the Canadian Armed Forces.
