Nashville, TN | Rock & Roll / Americana |
From the time he could talk, CHAPPY was hollering song. Raised in Georgia and shaped by visits to his grandmother in the North Carolina mountains — where Willie Nelson’s Honky Tonk Radio played on repeat and lap harps and dusty organs lined the walls — music was stitched into his bones early. Just down the road, his other grandmother was a prolific painter, passing down a different kind of influence — one of beauty, texture, and emotional weight. Between them, sound and story took root, deep and instinctual. He came up through theater and church song, moved to Nashville to further study music, and has now spent over a decade writing, performing, and arranging for others. An instinctual folk instrumentalist — banjo, acoustic guitar, dulcimer — CHAPPY is a bandleader by training and a composer for podcasts, films, and narrative projects. His artistry has always bent toward story and feel — rooted in grit, place, and the worn-wood texture of home.
That foundation spills directly into his sound today. Grounded in Nashville and raised on the grit of rock and roll and the storytelling backbone of Americana, CHAPPY's music is a bruised-knuckle handshake between emotion and power — built for open roads, dive bars, and windows rolled all the way down. Every track pulses with raw honesty: heavy guitars, haunting hooks, and a voice that doesn’t just sing but testifies.
