Chuckii Booker (born December 19 1966 in Los Angeles, California) is an African American singer, songwriter, instrumentalist and bandleader. Booker emerged in the late 1980s as a prominent urban contemporary R&B artist and producer. He began recording music after being signed by his godfather Barry White to his production company in 1984. Later, he played keyboards with a band called Tease for three years.

He has recorded with several recording artist including Vanessa Williams, Kool & the Gang and Janet Jackson. He signed a recording contract with Atlantic Records and issued his debut album Chuckii in 1989. The album fared well on the strength of hit singles "(Don't U Know) I Love U" and "Turned Away". The follow-up album Niice 'N Wild was released in 1992 and yielded another chart-topping R&B hit "Games". He was a producer and arranger on Lionel Richie's Collection of Holiday Classics album for NBC's "Sounds of the Season" series of CDs for Christmas.

Since then, Chuckii has carved a sizeable niche for himself as a record producer and musician for artists such as Lalah Hathaway, Troop, En Vogue, Angela Winbush, Diana Ross, Anastacia, Commissioned, Lionel Richie, and Bette Midler.
