Abdul Chestnut is CEO and Founder of "Abdul 215 Entertainment".
He started in the music business as a wanna be rapper/producer. He entered
the music business in 1992 as a guest vocalist on the demo for The Chestnut
Brothers' song "Brotherly Love". After that He kind of got hooked
and in 1993 he started producing and managing local Philadelphia artist.
That was an interesting task for him. Dealing with the different
personalities and clashes of managing several people, he stepped away from
it. He took a few years off to evaluate what he wanted to do.
So, with the knowledge and schooling that Abdul received from Al &
Ty Chestnut, he started Abdul Entertainment in July of 1999.
His Company was functioning as a Marketing, Promotions and
Distribution Company for "Bishop James H. Mortom/With My Whole Heart"
and the late "Minister Dirk Chaney/God Is Great".
Minister Chaney was the one who influenced and persuaded Abdul to get into
gospel music.
In 2001, Abdul released his first project as a recording company, which was "La'Trese" and that cd is also available on Cdbaby.com. After that project he decided to get into gospel music. That brings him to his current project "Peace Suite" by The Chestnut Brothers.
