Sheldon Young (born May 26, 1991), known professionally as Channel Tres, is an American rapper, singer and record producer from Compton, California.[1] Tres is best known for his singles "Controller" and "Topdown".[2]
Early life[]
Young grew up in southern Los Angeles, between Compton and Lynwood, and was raised by his great-grandparents. He spent most days at church, where he played drums for the choir. Channel left home to study music at a private Christian university in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Upon his return to Los Angeles, a childhood friend (88rising artist ) brought him along to studio sessions, where he rose to making beats for Duckwrth, Wale, Kehlani and others.[3]
Career[]
Tres rose to international fame in 2018. "Controller" received major airplay on BBC Radio 1 and an Essential New Tune call-out from Pete Tong. Australian radio station Triple J added "Controller" to their A-list rotation and called it "one of 2018's biggest cult hits." Tres continued to see success with the release of his self-titled EP in 2018 and further singles, including his single "Black Moses", which featured JPEGMAFIA.[4] He played his first headline shows in the US in 2019.
