Chuck is a model and artist who has worked with Foot Locker Europe and Reebok on their recent Leather Legacy campaign, as well as modelling for USC.
In August 2021, he also launched Masaaki, a design and building space for creatives to come together and work, including contemporary art, tattooing and music.
Detailing the venture on Instagram, he wrote: 'I'm super proud to announce the opening of Masaaki, a conventional tattoo shop by day, music studio & hangout by night, home to immersive art experiences & exhibitions.
'We take pride in collaborating with artists to innovate, create & nourish all forms of expression.'
It comes after the star praised the community of black female artists within the music industry for supporting each other as they rise to fame.

Speaking in the latest edition of NET-A-PORTER's digital title PORTER, the star spoke out on her career and her experience of working in the arts.
Musician Little Simz - who has starred in Netflix hit Top Boy, has performed a headline Glastonbury gig, currently has two two Mercury-Prize nominations and has had multiple BRIT Award wins - says there is an unspoken rule of black female artists looking out for each other.
She explained: 'There's a real community of us coming through that is really exciting to watch. I feel like there's an unsaid thing between us all; that we're always going to support each other. What I'm trying to project is that your win is always going to be my win, and vice versa.'
She said she wants to see five black females up for Best New Artists at next year's BRIT Awards and a further five shortlisted for Mercury Prize.
While she is hoping for for further recognition for her fellow black artists, she recognises there has been change for diverse voices within the once almost entirely male-led music industry.

She said: 'It's definitely getting better. I'm seeing a lot more black women coming through within music and film.
'We are getting pushed to the forefront and we are getting airtime. People want to tell our stories, show our faces, dress us and take us to events.
'It's wicked but, in the same breath, I hope that we are also not blinded by that. I hope that we enjoy it but also really understand the power and the influence that we have.
