DJ Chose

Norman Payne, stage name DJ Chose, grew up in Brookshire, TX, a small town outside of Houston, TX. He began his production career working with a group called Brook Gang. Working with the group gave him his first taste of Billboard success with the song “Pop That” which peaked at #89 on the charts.

As a way to get club exposure for the music he was creating, Chose started DJing which lead to working with veterans like OG Ron C, DJ Mr. Rogers, and DJ Micheal “5000” Watts. Those ventures opened the door to a multitude of his success on the artist side of his business including him landing a deal with Mike Caren’s Artist Publishing Group. Inking that contract led to opportunities to collaborate with Akon, Trey Songz, Plies, and Youngboy Never Broke Again.

DJ Chose continues today focusing on expanding his production and songwriting craft. Recently, that focus has led to production and writing credits on the RIAA Platinum Certified single “No Smoke” by Youngboy Never Broke Again” and the RIAA Platinum Certified “Islah” album by Kevin Gates, which also includes Chose’s work on the RIAA Gold Certified Single “Time 4 That”. He also contributed to the “Fate of the Furious” Motion Picture Soundtrack by producing the RIAA Gold Certified single “Horses” by PNB Rock, A Boogie Wit The Hoodie, & Kodak Black.

Chose never misses a day of thanking God for blessing him with the opportunities he has experienced. Anyone who wants to know him should know that he is an ambitious and motivated individual whom is only satisfied with excellence and perfection. He’s here to prove that with those traits, his achievements, and work ethic the sky is the limit!
