Born in the islands and raised in Indiana, Chad draws inspiration from both lifestyles as he presents deep, relaxed, airy vocals over simple mellow acoustic melodies. Ranging from island calypso and country folk styles, his records tell a story of his life's pursuits, achievements and celebrations, often reflecting on his love affair with water, nature, and the sea. After first hosting an open mic in his home town, he was encouraged to record his first album, Leavin' Footprints, in 2009. Over time, he continued performing and writing, releasing two further records - Daydreaming Days Away and Twisted Strings - while saving all proceeds in order to buy a sailboat, "Footprints," upon which he sailed throughout the Bahamas with his wife and two daughters. So sit and relax, and escape into the reverie of a walk in the woods, a surf, or a sail through the calming hues of the Bahama blues with Chad in your playlist. Cheers!
