Chad lives in NYC after moving from Philadelphia at the end June 2011. His debut album is gaining momentum on iTunes and through physical disc sales.

Growing up in the Philadelphia suburbs, Chad was always interested in performing. At 5 years old, he would dance to Michael Jackson in the living room and later perform in lip syncs and talent shows. He began writing seriously in April of 2009 while completing his degree at Art Institute of Pittsburgh. He is now back home in Philadelphia and gearing up for a major leap in his career. He recorded his first single – Life Is A Ride – in April of 2010, and is steadily recording songs to complete his debut album. Chad’s mission is to bring happiness to the masses with his uplifting lyrics and catchy melodies. He is branding a new genre – Neo Pop – a mix of pop, rap, dance and rock with a lyrical style never heard before.

“I want you to know – you matter. There is a place for you in this world. If you are 12, you may not realize that, but get excited for the future and what you can discover. If you are 35, life may be slowing down or even becoming boring – that can change. Let me inspire you to be happy. If you are 76, life can be beautiful and filled with joy. It is always possible to be at peace with yourself and others. We can all learn this and apply it. That is how we can change the world. This is my way of changing the world.

I’ll admit, it may seem like I just want to be a rock star – but that isn’t the whole story. Growing up in this world, I’ve learned how we interact with each other as humans. Sometimes, we are nice. Sometimes, we aren’t. I was bullied in school and it damaged me. After years of feeling bad, I’ve learned how to turn it into good. Through my music and lyrics, you can learn too.

One of my goals is to help my generation, and future generations of youth feel comfortable with themselves – even in the face of bullying and intolerance. Currently, the bullying of LGBT’s is more prominent, but all bullying is unacceptable. We feel there is nowhere to turn and we don’t fit in to this world, so some commit suicide. Suicide is a symptom of an unhealthy society with dangerous communities & oppressive social stigmas. There are bullies in the adult world too, they just take on different forms and appear in different, more mature situations. My music expresses feelings of happiness, love, acceptance, tolerance, and justice – all of which we need more of in our world. Join me on a mission to happiness, because it gets better.”

We are all human.
That is our link.
We are all connected.
