Champ Jaxon is a 14- year-old aspiring blues-rock musician based out of Southwest Florida. Champ was born in New Bedford, Massachusetts in 2010 and his family relocated back to Florida in 2013 when he was three years old. Shortly thereafter, in the Spring of 2014, Champ attended the Wanee Music Festival, seeing the Allman Brothers Band on their farewell tour, which ignited the fire that has fueled his passion for music ever since.
Champ began studying the guitar around age six, although he'd previously had a ukulele and toy guitars. His debut performance came when sang one song at a youth talent showcase in May 2018 at age seven. That was followed by a handful of local open mic appearances, which led to his first featured gig in March of 2019 at age eight. Since then, Champ has appeared in over 120 paid performances at various venues throughout South Florida and six other states, including opening the 2019 Big Orange Music Festival, where he shared the bill with Blackberry Smoke and The Allman Betts Band. He has also played lead guitar with the Marshall Tucker band twice, including an entire set opening for "Alabama" at Oak Mountain Ampitheatre in Birmingham, AL in August of 2021.
