Artists

Choker

Choker is a Detroit-born singer, songwriter, and producer known for his soulful vocals, abstract and vivid songwriting, and experimental and genre-blending production. Since emerging with cult favorites like Peak (2016) and Honeybloom(2017), Choker has developed a fiercely dedicated fanbase drawn to his emotionally provoking, left-field, and cinematic sound.

Choker’s newly released album, Heaven Ain’t Sold, is an intimate journey through self-doubt, memory, and the quiet hope that survival demands. Across eleven tracks, Choker drifts between confession and dream-state clarity—outsourcing healing on “Geppetto,” asking for emotional truth on “Proof,” and grappling with pressure, purpose, and faith on the title track.

The album is stitched with vivid scenes and emotional whiplash: dawns in Atlanta, blue-soled sneakers in the snow, childhood magic, cracked glass mistaken for diamonds. Family anchors, lost friends, shifting relationships, and inner turmoil all orbit the same fragile center. By the final track, Choker is ghostlike but reaching for renewal, still asking, “Can we start again?” Heaven Ain’t Sold is a candid portrait of becoming, breaking, and trying again anyway.

This new work pushes deeper into analog textures, soundsystem culture, and Black ’90s pop music in an effort to explore and pay homage to his sonic influences, while remaining true to his raw and experimental nature.
