I AM CHASE PERRYMAN
Years ago when I was performing the open-mic night circuit in Nashville, I had an epiphany (it was painful, but my doctor gave me an ointment). If I wanted the crowd to stop talking long enough to hear my lyrics, the song and the singing had to have one thing: soul, and heart and a spotty ability to count. The more soul I injected into my writing, singing, and performing, the more people paid attention.
Though the genres I dabble in today vary a bit – everything from vintage R'n’B to Singer-Songwriter to modern Blues Rock—I continue to explore different lyrical themes, and while I experiment with new arrangements and work with new producers, that one word, "soul" is still at the core of every song I create.
Still based out of Nashville, TN, my musical journey has taken me from a frequent open-mic performer to touring the West Coast. I've gone from being signed with a label to becoming an independent artist writing songs for TV and Film.
As a fan of music myself, "soul" is that seemingly indefinable element that can make me fall in love with a song or a singer. Maybe it can make you fall in love with what I do as well. As cheesy as it sounds, I always promise to give a little piece of my "soul" in every song I write and sing.
