Chester Watson is a multi-hyphenate artist most known for his surreal and dreamy rap style. 

In 2013, at age 15, the world was introduced to Chester with "Phantom" on Youtube and BBC1 Radio, courtesy of Zane Lowe, just before his 16th birthday. 

Born Montrell Elijah Haymon on March 16, 1997 in St. Louis, Missouri, his work spans music, fine art, creative direction, curation, modeling, and now managing and operating a creative agency as monti. 

Musical works like "Phantom", "Picbascassquiato", "Dead Albatross" and subsequent projects like the mixtape "Tin Wooki", the compilation "Past Cloaks", the EP "Summer Mirage", and his debut album "A Japanese Horror Film" helped Chester to create a world of his own. 

Now creating and performing under both the name monti and the moniker Chester Watson, he created Daydream Vanguard, a luxury creative agency and clothing brand operating out of Atlanta.
