Born in Westmeade, Portmore to a musical family, Chevaughn has been singing and playing the drums since his days in the choir, having first received vocal training from his older sister who always encouraged him to pursue his dream. His quest for music led him to the Edna Manley School of the Visual and Performing Arts from 2003-2006 where he majored in ‘Popular Music’. During his years at Edna Manley Chevaughn met up with the Further Notice Band, became a member and now works with them as Notice Productions (producers of “Holiday”).
Upon finishing Edna Manley he stepped in as the lead singer of C-Sharp in 2006. For Chevaughn being with C Sharp has shaped his music immensely and he describes the group as family saying, “our musical chemistry is wicked, we write together effortlessly". C Sharp combines the different musical loves of all the band members fusing rock, pop, African beats with reggae, dancehall and roots for a completely unique eclectic sound. Chevaughn’s voice is perfectly in sync with all these sounds. One can hear his perfectly controlled and focused musical angst on social commentaries “No More” and "What’s The Matter with the World." His vocal range is genius.
In Chevaughn’s melodious defiance, there is sweetness mixed with angst in a complex blend of tone; power; vocal range and soul which guarantees that you always get more than you expect. When he sings, what you are hearing is the magical tones of a voice so mature and confident, yet placed within the youthful body of an artiste who is relevant, current and still pushing the envelope.
Chevaughn sings life and buoyancy into any song. This vibrancy also translates to the stage as Chevaughn’s performance is something to behold. His phenomenal stage presence commands attention with the skills of a veteran artiste. A major part of this is the fact that, though relatively new on the scene, he is not new to the stage. For years he has graced many a stage breathing life and power into musical theater production, touring the world with such stalwarts as Jimmy Cliff, Sly and Robbie, Rita Marley, Tarrus Riley, Queen Ifrica, Tony Rebel and Father Holung & Friends.
The release of "Holiday" has been magic for Chevaughn garnering him several nominations and an award at the Excellence in Music (EME) Awards; and putting him in heavy rotation. He has made big stages such as Reggae Sumfest, Jamaica Jazz and Blues, Shaggy and Friends, Rebel Salute among others and continues to explore the world bringing his musical message across the Caribbean, Europe and North America. C Sharp is in the midst of finishing their yet-to-be-titled sophomore album.
Chevaughn has done several successful singles including "Tables", “Happy," “Life” and “Come My Way” for Notice Productions and has more music in the works. With musical influences such as Donny Hathaway and the ‘King of Pop’ Michael Jackson, Chevaughn calls his music a complicated fusion of genres that will continue to grow with time and dedication; both of which he has in abundance. As for the future the promising young artiste says “fans can expect only the best; there will definitely be more quality, forward thinking, love filled, feel good music to last for generations; also expect performances that will bless all with a smile in my heart.”
You Lose
Chevaughn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thou the clocks still ticking
My cup
Full and over flows
Make up? No but your forgiven
That's not what my heart wants in the end
Whooaaa
Baby it's over
Baby it's over
So you lose, you loswe, you lose, lost my heart
I know you will never change, change at all
So you lose, you loswe, you lose, lost my heart
I know you will never change, change at all
Might as
Might as well we give in
Cause what's love?
If we can't receive
It's Like
Like the world is spinning
And Autumn leaves can't fall from the tree
Whooaaaa
So baby it's over
Baby it's over
Baby it's over
So you lose, you loswe, you lose, lost my heart
I know you will never change, change at all
So you lose, you lose, you lose, lost my heart
I know you will never change, change at all
Girl you took my soul
Now who you gonna call on
You take my vibes outta meh reggae
Left me dancing slow
Make me talk like stregeh
Now meh gone a Bellevue
So you lose, you loswe, you lose, lost my heart
I know you will never change, change at all
So you lose, you loswe, you lose, lost my heart
I know you will never change, change at all
You'll never change at all
Never never change at all
Chevaughn naw go wait on you, nuh
The song "You Lose" by Chevaughn is a smooth and soulful track that delves into a love that has come to an end due to circumstances that cannot be changed. The lyrics suggest that time is up, and although the clocks are still ticking, the couple has reached the end of the road. The singer's cup is full and overflowing, which could represent that he has given all he can to the relationship, and there is nothing left to give. He explains that forgiveness is not what his heart wants in the end, and he accepts that the relationship is over.
The chorus repeats the phrase "so you lose, you lose, you lose, lost my heart" as a way to emphasize the pain and heartbreak he is feeling. The singer acknowledges that his partner will never change, and he has accepted that the relationship is over and done with. The bridge talks about how they might as well give in because love is meaningless if they cannot receive it. The world is spinning, and autumn leaves can't fall from the tree, which could signify that despite how the world may seem to flourish around them, their love cannot grow or change.
The last verse speaks to the singer's pain and how his partner has taken his soul. He implies that she has affected his love of reggae music and changed the way he speaks. He ends the song by saying he won't wait for her and ends with Jamaican slang, "Chevaughn naw go wait on you, nuh," meaning he won't wait for her.
