Just a week prior to her passing, Enchanting - whose real name was Channing Nicole Larry - had teased fans about shooting a new music video.

She wrote on Instagram: "Go sub n y’all go get a music video in bout 2 weeks. (sic)"

Enchanting embarked on a career in music when she was 18, and admitted it took a while to find her voice.

She explained in a profile on the 1017 website: “I had to get comfortable with my voice.

“Staying in the studio and constantly recording, it helps me find the style I can be good at.”

She was briefly signed to 1017 in 2020, before leaving the following year.

Enchanting released five studio albums, her most recent being 2022's ‘Luv Scarred/No Luv (Deluxe)’.

Her boyfriend MotionGod Bandman was among those to pay tribute to the star following her untimely death.

He wrote on Facebook: “You finally found that peace that you was looking for.”
