Author • Speaker • Founder & Owner of Chayz Lounge
Whatever you create, make it meaningful. Make it memorable.
Chaye Alexander is an author, speaker, and the founder and owner of Chayz Lounge, an award-winning boutique listening room where evenings are designed to be felt as much as heard. Her outlook on life and creativity is guided by a simple creed: Whatever you create, make it meaningful. Make it memorable.
Using words as the message and music as the atmosphere, she creates moments that inspire and echo far beyond the room. It’s the essence of Sophisti-Soul, her signature philosophy of curated sound, soulful moments, and elevated experiences.
Through Chayz Lounge, her writing, and her spoken word artistry, Chaye has developed a distinctive voice and an approach to culture all her own.
Her journey has been one of imagination, reinvention, and turning ideas into reality. In 2009, she launched Chayz Lounge Radio, a 24/7 global streaming station, and she was the visionary behind the Meeting Street Music Festival in West Columbia, South Carolina. Each began as an idea, and each became something meaningful.
Brooklyn-raised, Chaye has been honored with the Lexington County NAACP Champion for Change Award and the Pillar of the Community Award from Greenville Memorial AME Zion Church. Above all, she hopes her work encourages others to recognize their gifts and find the courage to use them.
Writing is Chaye’s passion. Her work lives at the intersection of truth, experience, and intention, spanning practical insight, literary fiction, and personal narrative.
The Woman in Apartment 3B brings her voice to literary fiction. Set in Brooklyn Heights, the novella follows a late-night radio host and a photographer whose paths begin to quietly intertwine.
Earn The Return: A Musician’s Guide to Getting Gigs & Being Invited Back draws from her years in music, blending real-life experience with lessons in respect, professionalism, and preparation.
Upcoming works include Four Floors Up, What We Inherit, and Chayeology: Reflections on Life, Love, and Becoming, each rooted in the same honesty that guides it all.
Reflections in the Rhythm of Life is Chaye's debut spoken word album.
Set against smooth jazz textures and soulful undertones, each piece gives voice to longing, love, and the quiet truths that shape who we’re becoming.
These are not songs to fill the silence. They’re spoken pieces meant to slow the pace, still the noise, and make room for what matters most. The words carry their own weight, and the music doesn’t lead the experience. It deepens it.
Rather than a collection of individual tracks, the album unfolds as one continuous journey, made for immersive listening from beginning to end. Created for evening listening, long drives, and moments of introspection, it offers both atmosphere and depth.
Listen, and let it linger.
