Bio/Tour:
Dustin Chapman is a young singer/songwriter who has climbed hills and entered valleys, as he is in the midst of a budding country music career, but also in the middle of an extreme medical battle with a disease called achalasia; however, Chapman uses his talents to praise God and to uplift others who are fighting their own battles. A mixture of country, gospel, and blues comes together to create his signature soulful southern sound. Writing lyrics that make people examine a variety of situations taking place in their own lives, Chapman is showing that life is expelled through the moments when we take the biggest risks and to never truly discredit anyones ability to win a fight. In 2017, Chapman released his debut EP which charted #52 on the iTunes Country Charts and afterwards, was nominated for two country music awards, including Gospel Song of the Year for his original song “Set Me Free” at the 2018 Carolina Country Music Awards. On April 30th 2019, Chapman released a single “Lead the Way,” a song that has already impacted hundreds of thousands. Chapman has continued to release music throughout 2020, garnering two songwriting awards for his song “Plus One,” winning the Carolina Country Music Festival’s Battle of the Bands, and garnering over 15 other award nominations, and ultimately coming closer to his overall goal–to show listeners that his songs, lyrics, and musical ventures are not about him, but about the power of musicthe power it has to restore brokenness, encourage hopefulness, and breathe life into the lifeless. It was just Chapman who allowed himself to break down walls and enter a place of vulnerability that would eventually result in others doing the same. |
