Growing up, Chanel West Coast inherited her love of music from her dad, who was a DJ . According to the rapper’s website, when she wasn’t living with her mom in North Hollywood, Calif., West Coast was with her dad in New York. He would “bring his then eight-year-old-daughter” with him as he DJ’d local clubs. “I’ve always been around music,” West Coast wrote. “I knew it’s what I’d do for the rest of my life.” Adorably enough, the celeb had one dream when she was a little girl: to make her father proud. “I remember just dreaming of one day, my dad pulling out my record to play,” she gushed to The Trend.
While some might think West Coast only wants to stick to hip-hop, she’s actually always wanted to branch out musically. Speaking with The Trend about Gwen Stefani’s crossover success from No Doubt to a solo artist, the star said she’s interested in being a crossover artist, as well. “It’s something I’d love to do. I love all types of music, I’d rather start with hip-hop and then maybe cross over into more pop-rock. I really aspire to be an artist like that that can basically do anything.”
