Chelsea Chanel Dudley, better known as Chanel West Coast, was born in Los Angeles, California, on September 1st, 1988. She grew up bouncing around between North Hollywood and New York City. Why? Her parents divorced, and she had to travel back and forth to spend time with her dad, a Dj in New York. Chanel began taking singing and dancing classes at a young age, and her passion for music only grew more intense. She developed a particular fondness for rap music, which she attributes entirely to the iconic Tupac Shakur. By the age of 14, she started rapping.

In 2008, she met Rob Dyrek through mutual friends. It's safe to say that if you know Chanel at all, you'll agree that she has an amazing personality and leaves a lasting impression.
