If you’ve seen the ’96 classic film, “Set It Off,” then you probably recognize this actor. He played  “Stoney’s” (Jada Pinkett-Smith) brother, “Stevie,” and his character was shot dead by police in a case of mistaken identity, just before he was about to go off to college…or so “Stoney” thought. Well, his real name is Chaz Shepherd, and although we’ve seen him in other roles since “Set It Off” – such as in the TV series, “The Game,” and others – many of us had NO idea that he was now doing something totally different for a living these days. Check it out below and prepare to be amazed.

Chaz Shepherd is a professional singer. Who knew he could sing?!! Hold up, let me rephrase that, this dude doesn’t just sing, he SANGS. FYI: that’s not a typo…he really is a SANGIN’ somebody! Chaz performs regularly and he released an album titled, “Love & Truth.” He’s also performed in theatrical productions, including the musical, “Dreamgirls.”

The “Set It Off” actor also cuts UP in concert with his band, Chard…

Now it makes me wonder if that was really him singing on “The Temptations” movie…before today, I assumed his movie vocals were the workings of a voice-over, but…they’re probably not.

And when he’s not spending time with his adorable mini-me, he’s encouraging others to do the same as he does: ‘create balance between doing what you want and doing what you need…so you can do what you want.’
