专辑简介

My name is Michael Chapman. I am a singer/songwriter living in the Boston area. Originally from the South, born in West Virginia, I started singing in church. The first time I ever sang in front of a crowd of people I was two years old. My father, who was also the pastor of the church, sat me on the pulpit to sing Jesus Loves Me for the congregation, and they literally had to drag me away from the microphone. In that regard, not much has changed. I love to sing more and more as everyday passes. Over time, I found songwriting to be a therapeutic outlet on many different levels as well, and use it to convey my deepest emotions.

Someone once told me that my voice is what you get when a person has legitimate talent and the emotional capability to deliver a song with heart and passion. I still consider that to be one of the best compliments I have ever received. The thing that meant more to me than anything was the comment about my emotional capability. I am a firm believer that music, no matter what the genre, should be performed with emotion and also evoke emotion within the listener. Whenever I write and/or sing, I truly put my heart and soul into each and every aspect of the process. I get asked so often to describe my music, and while I am fully capable of doing so, it is more enjoyable for me to sometimes listen to the descriptions others have shared with me. I have been told that my voice is "rocky", "soulful", "bluesy", "gospely", "great range", "powerful dynamics". I just love to write and sing my butt off. It is what makes me most turned on and happy in life, and I cannot see and end in sight. The best is yet to come.
