CHAVA (23) grew up in the trailer culture. Where others sang along André Hazes at the top of their lungs, CHAVA turned around and preferred to listen to Tupac or 50 Cent. As a result, he was often looked at strangely by the people around him. Family members said that he was the only "kamper" who did not fully sing along with traditional Dutch music. People often wondered why he did not try to follow a career in Dutch folk singing like many of his cousins. But CHAVA stood his ground and wanted to be one of the first boys of the camp to achieve a rap career that the camp would be proud of. Whenever there was a family party with performances by some famous Dutch artists, CHAVA took over the microphone and started rapping fervently. People often saw this as a joke until, at the age of 16, he released his first English-language track. This track even caught the attention of many people at the camp. Because by incorporating the party atmosphere of the travelers' music into his own track, people saw that he had more in mind with music than hijacking a microphone at a party and rapping a song.
