Who would’ve thought that a mobile barbershop would be the ticket to a career in the music industry? For artist Chuckwavy, the opportunity for him to become a music artist presented itself thanks to the mobile barbershop that he founded himself.
Through his creativity, not only has he opened new horizons for himself, but he has also gained a niche clientele who enjoy his talents as a musician and a master barber
The Man Before the Music
Before starting a career in music, the Westbank, New Orleans native built a credible name for himself in the streets, military, and as a master barber. After an honorable discharge from the service, he attended the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor in Belton, Texas, and became a member of the legendary Crusaders football team.
With his innovation and passion as a master barber, he designed a mobile barbershop company, the Barbership LLC, a strategically designed Mercedes sprinter van that serviced various businesses and venues like South by Southwest (SXSW) in Central Texas.
The design, coupled with his dynamic marketing approach, enabled Chuckwavy to bring the barbershop, streets, and music all into one.
“I made a song about my mobile barbershop and used it as an advertisement to gain a niche clientele,” he said.
By virtue and relentless hustle, he created his own unique approach to gaining his following. From athletes on the field to veterans across seas, his music seeks to inspire and motivate.
He is set to release his third album titled Yehwavy by January 1, 2021. He describes the project as a way for him to release emotional toxins through music.
Focusing on the Hustle
Like most success stories, Chuckwavy’s time under the spotlight would not have been possible if not for his grit and persistence. And despite the acknowledgments and fulfillments that he has achieved, he remains loyal to the people who helped him get to where he is now.
To those who want to follow in his footsteps, the musician and master barber advises that people should not get caught up in wanting instant gratification. Respecting the process is important to becoming a unique artist with a distinct personality to set yourself apart from others.
“Focus on each step and not the staircase, there is no elevator,” he said.
By using his experiences and skills in every field that he has shown expertise on, Chuckwavy is out and about to bring style and inspiration through his mobile barbershop and music.

It’s been almost a year since the United States government officially decided to shut down the country to mitigate the rising coronavirus cases. Limiting activities down to only the essentials may have been great for our country’s health, but the benefits did not always translate well for businesses. If a company wanted to survive through the pandemic, they had to learn to adjust to this new world. Despite the fears and challenges that came with it, EDM Maniac, the premier source for all things EDM, was able to quickly find new ways to continue to serve their passionate fans through drive-in, socially-distanced, and virtual concerts.
Today, EDM Maniac is primarily known as a digital publication, but their history is rooted in hosting live, in-person events. When EDM Maniac’s founder, Devin Lezama first moved to Los Angeles, he recognized the need for a space where the EDM community could unite. To fill the gap and pursue his passion, he started throwing underground raves, which eventually evolved into the sophisticated brand we know today. Understandably, hearing that the country was shutting down met him with lots of uncertainty and fear.
“When I first got the news that the country was shutting down, I immediately freaked out because I knew live events would be one of the first things to go,” explains Lezama. “The majority of our brand is centred around our shows and events. It’s pretty much a part of the EDM Maniac’s DNA.”
Having a massive component of their business model challenged was not easy, and for a few weeks, they wrestled with the idea of throwing in the towel altogether. However, less than three months later, they were ready to hit the ground running again with some new, fresh, and safe ideas.
In June 2020, EDM Maniac traveled to San Antonio, Texas to help promote and market a series of drive-in EDM concerts to allow fans the opportunity to safely enjoy their favorite DJ’s whilst remaining in their cars. With Covid regulations progressively loosening up, in October 2020, EDM Maniac decided it was the perfect time to finally start hosting live events again. In partnership with M3ATX, every Friday and Saturday they host CDC compliant events at The Venue ATX located in Austin, Texas. These parties give Austin EDM lovers a weekly opportunity to gather in a nightclub atmosphere and make up for lost times.
Though EDM Maniac enjoys great music and uniting the community, health is the top priority at all of their events. “We take Covid regulations and the health of our community very seriously,” says Lezama. “At each event, we have a staff of security walking around to make sure attendees are always following CDC guidelines when it comes to social distancing and mask-wearing.”
For those who are still unable to make it to the live events, be it for geographical or health reasons, EDM Maniac continues to think of new ways to please their audiences. In their recent partnership with Insomniac TV, EDM Maniac will be delivering an immersive virtual concert experience every Thursday on tv.insomniac.com from 10 pm to 12 am PT from February 25th through April 8th. This gives fans the opportunity to party from the comfort and safety of their homes.
The coronavirus may have forever changed how live events are conducted and experienced, but EDM Maniac refuses to let this stop them. By continuously coming up with new ways to rave, they make sure the EDM community remains entertained and united, regardless of what life throws at them.
