Chion Wolf

Artist Information

Biography

Inspired by three guitar-weilding big brothers and the concept of being her own portable request-line, Chion began writing songs at 12 years old. Influenced by the down-trodden grit of Billie Holiday and the driven, percussive sounds of Led Zeppelin, she's found herself reaching out to every breed of listener. As unique as her tattooed, dread-locked appearance, Chion's sound and soul comes across just as surely.

With her uncensored lyrics and strong vibrato, one never doubts that her songs exist in direct, authentic relation to her life- as opposed to singer-songwriters who try to distill their life experience down to some kind of clever, singable product. Her songs were angry breakup tunes, but they weren't bitter. Maybe it was her smile that was the giveaway- Julia Roberts' Mona Lisa ain't got nothin' on this. Her three songs were full of more attitude and character than some bluesmen's entire sets. Damn, girl.

In a relatively short time she's skyrocketed from being a regular at acoustic open mics to doing radio interviews at venues like Real Art Ways and Sully's, and generating tons of word-of-mouth interest. All this comes on the heels of her home-recorded, self-produced CD, Fin:. She's got a voice like a river, and her songs are equal parts tender and irreverent. ...Blues aficionados and anyone with an appreciation for DIY ethics won't want to miss her set.

Songs like "Hold on Wait" and "Funeral Song" delight the listener with Wolf's soulful voice and her extraordinary vocal range. While some of "Fin:'s" tracks shock the listener with the passionate fervor Wolf infuses into the CD, others demand contemplation because of their pure poetry.
