ChevoBeatz ( born Cheville Samoedj May 8, 1992) is Surinamese-Dutch producer known for his song âÂÂShatta GyalâÂÂ, with Jamaican deejay FyaVerse which charted on Billboard Argentina.
Samoedj was born in Velp, Netherlands, to Surinamese-Indian parents. His father, Sudesh K. Samoedj, known as Bonniac SK, was a musician, and from an early age, ChevoBeatz was exposed to music. At 11, he began playing bass guitar in his father's band, Shine, performing at various events across the Netherlands.
ChevoBeatz established himself as a producer in the dancehall and reggae genres. His production style blends Caribbean, African, and South American influences. He gained widespread recognition when his song "Shatta Gyal" (with FyaVerse) entered the Billboard Argentina Hot 100 chart.
In addiction to his Billboard success, "Shatta Gyal" topped the Hype TV Jamaica charts and gained further international attention when it was shared by producer Scott Storch on Instagram. His follow-up production, "Times Dread", reached #1 on the FIWI Choice Top 10.
In 2025, "Time's Dread" was nominated for Best Reggae Act at the HDP Music Awards.
