If you’ve followed Nigerian music over the past decade, you’ve probably heard Chillz’s work, whether you knew it or not. As a producer and songwriter, he’s crafted sounds behind some of the biggest names in the industry: Davido, Burna Boy, Adekunle Gold, and more. But now, reintroduced as Chilleaux, he’s stepping from behind the boards and into full view—with style, swagger, and undeniable sound.
His first release of 2025, Skooby Snack, isn’t just a new single; it’s a mission statement. Written and produced entirely by Chilleaux, the track is a vibrant blend of afrobeats, street-pop, and global rhythms. It’s playful and charismatic, yet full of depth; a reflection of an artist fully in control of his narrative.
More than just a catchy track, Skooby Snack is a declaration of self. It’s about resilience, reclaiming space, and proving that real talent never fades, it just waits for the right moment to resurface.
“I wanted to create something playful but layered,” Chilleaux explains. “‘Skooby Snack’ is about reclaiming your place when people doubt you and doing it with charm, confidence, and groove.”
And that’s exactly what he delivers. With lyrics like “Ouchea looking like Skooby Snack / I’m just doing my duty ma,” Chilleaux pairs with bounce, offering a cheeky nod to anyone who underestimated him. But beneath the lightness is an artist who’s put in the work—years of experience distilled into a tight, confident three-minute sonic experience.
What sets the track apart even more is its cultural fluency. Chilleaux fluidly shifts between French, Yoruba, and Nigerian Pidgin, creating a sound that feels deeply rooted yet globally resonant. It’s the kind of track that works as well on the streets of Lagos as it does in a Paris nightclub or a London playlist.
The name change from Chillz to Chilleaux might seem minor, but the evolution it represents is profound. This isn’t just a rebrand, it’s a rebirth. A new era marked by greater artistic clarity and a refined creative voice.
