Channel Tres headlines Knockdown Center alongside Eliza Rose on Sept 10. The rules don’t apply to Channel Tres. He crosses dimensions not only as an artist, but also as a man. He’s the rare creative who is just as comfortable DJ-ing under the neon lights of an after-hours club as he is throwing down on a track next to our generation’s finest wordsmiths or getting bodies to move from the main stage of your favorite festival. The Compton native isn’t shy about painting his nails and tending to his dogs, yet he casts a shadowy presence that you’ll never quite put your finger on. You’ll get a glimpse of who he is in his lyrics though he never gives it all away. That’s why he’s quietly entrenched himself at the forefront of the culture as a conundrum. He introduced himself as a solo artist with the 2018 Channel Tres EP, boasting “Topdown” and “Controller.” 2020’s i can’t go outside EP sent him into overdrive accelerated by “fuego” \[feat. Tyler, The Creator\]. Beyond collaborations with KAYTRANADA, Kito, SG Lewis, and Charlotte Day Wilson, he joined forces with Jungle on “I’ve Been In Love,” gathering 135 million-plus Spotify streams. 2024 saw him deliver his debut, Head Rush. Billboard christened it “a sophisticated, swaggy amalgamation of hip-hop, R&B and electronic music that tracks his rise from his native Compton to big tours and big festival stages.” Between selling out headline shows, he shined at festivals a la Coachella, Bonnaroo, and HARD. Moving fluidly between electronic, R&B, hip-hop, and alternative, his second full-length LP, Enigma, equally embodies the nuances of his sonic preferences and his personality. In early 2025, he left his previous label, grabbed his MPC, rented an Airbnb in Topanga Canyon, and fashioned a foundation for Enigma. Shocking an incomparable vision to life, he collaborated with the likes of Nick Solomon, Jesse Saint John, Pharrell, Robyn, Polo & Pan, and Kungs. Across the record, he perfects his signature “Compton House” sound and stands out as the truest kind of enigma. Knockdown Center
