Early Life
Chay Kentdale was born in Portsmouth, England, on September 6th 1992. He joined Brune Park Private School for the Elite at only Eleven years, and was known to excel in subjects such as physical education, the dramatic arts and the sciences.

Local Fame
At only aged 14, Kentdale rose to local fame after saving a drowning Springer Spaniel from Clarence pier. It was reported that observers noticed the dog in distress and Kentdale took it upon himself to dive in off the pier after it, swimming with the dog in his arms the 500-600 meters to shore. He was awarded a "Local Hero" medal for his efforts and bravery.

X-Factor And Brighton Message
Kentdale entered himself in for the 2010 X-Factor auditions, but only got through to the judges auditions. However after "bumping into" a lead producer backstage he was told to talk to a studio in Brighton that would be able to help him out. On 22nd April Kentdale gained himself a job at Brighton's Message, local radio station, as a reporter from Portsmouth. Later that year in June he took the opportunity to go to The Isle of Wight Festival, where he interviewed bands from Brighton such as Goodzies, Marshall's and The Geiger Counters. This very trip was what introduced him to his future partner, Kallie Chambers. Kentdale then spent five months in America, Georgia with Chambers and her family. On return to the UK, Kentdale produced many reports from his travels for Brighton Message, six months later being promoted to live radio on weekend morning slots.

Music Career
In late 2011, after many "performances" to his fellow colleagues at Brighton Message, they convinced him to try out for the staff karaoke competition, which he later won. After being seen by the manager he was advised make a few tracks at the studio, that he would happily discount him for. In doing so Kentdale recorded his first EP entitled "Sail Ridge" with many of the songs being based on his home life in his naval based city. The EP got many reviews, mostly positive, and was widely listened too in Southern England as it was played around once a week for almost three months. Since he has collaborated with the likes of Paulie Meadows and Ellis D in April 2012.
