Born and raised in Lawtell, Louisiana, Chavis began singing and playing drums when he was two years old. In high school, Chavis began to get involved into Zydeco, R&B, and Hip Hop music, where he learned to play the keyboard, rub board and accordion. He then went on to play trumpet for the world famous Southern University Jaguar Marching Band while majoring in Business Management.
Chavis’ family music heritage had a big influence on his career. His father, Joe Chopper Chavis, has performed R&B and played keyboard and rub board for major R&B and Zydeco bands for over 30 years. Meanwhile, his cousin, Boozoo Chavis, is considered a legend and pioneer of Zydeco music. In 2004, Chavis and his dad formed Leon Chavis and the Zydeco Flames. Within two years, the band was performing heavily and released his first album entitled, The Heat Is On. Chavis’ second album, Holla @ Me, brought him acclaim for the song titled for the album. Meanwhile, his third CD, Zydeco Soul Child, was released in 2010. A new CD is expected to be released later this year.
