Chasity Nwagbara, who is only 22 years old, is already creating a buzz about her songwriting ability as she makes her mark in the music industry.“Miss Chas,” as some call her, has worked on a Grammy nominated album (Karina Pisan, contemporary album, 2008); she also composed another song, “Mile in These Shoes,” that was featured in a “Desperate Housewives” promotional commercial for Season Three.

Nwagbara began as a singer, whose vocals flowed from other songwriters’ words. When the writers became too busy, what was a problem for Nwagbara presented her with an unopened gift; she was forced to write her own music.It was the beginning of a successful songwriting career that has allowed her to work with some of the best: Brandy, Mario, Jesse McCartney, and Jennifer Lopez are only a few of the musicians who breathe musical life into her lyrics."Brandy was a huge inspiration,” Nwagbara said, “and when I finally got to work with her, it was a little dream come true." Nwagbara’s dreams don’t stop there. Even though she has already collaborated with other well-known artists, she would also like to work with some of the greatest artists of all time like Prince and Whitney Houston. No doubt, she said, Michael Jackson was on her wish list. When asked what turns her creative juices on, she said: "I think of a lot of concepts on my own through my experiences and other people's experiences."

This Nashville native who was raised in Atlanta also draws inspiration from country music. "Country music has some of the best songwriting.” Nwagbara’s current projects include her work with Adrienne from the Cheetah Girls and a new group created by Matthew Knowles called From Above. She’s also working on records for Katy Perry, Rhianna, Adrianne Balion and Justin Beiber, among others. She said she hopes to begin work on her own project within the year. Chasity Nwagbara has no plans to stop at the mile marker. It seems that her walk to even greater success is just getting started.
