Chase is a DJ, producer, mixer, sound designer, composer, vocalist, voice actor & performer.

Chase (23) is a good looking, tall, blued eyed classically trained musician with great stage presence. He has crossed over into the world of EDM armed with degrees in music production, sonic arts, and compostion plus 10 years of experience in film acting, musical theatre, and solo acoustic music performances. Raised in Paris and speaking several languages, Chase is a global citizen who brings together his love for language and culture into his music.

Joining the rare ranks of British DJ/Vocalist/Songwriters such as Cristina Novelli and Harrison, his original tracks are unsurprisingly melodically driven, with interesting harmonies, which traverse severel dance music genres from Progressive House, to Trance to Techno. Imagine a mix of Armin van Buuren, Martin Garrix, and DeadMaus with some world beats thrown in for fun.

Born in New York and raised in Paris, Chase speaks several languages, and sings in 10. Like many DJ’s, he was a self taught songwriter, and by 18 he was composing music at an advanced level. Rather than jump into the music scene like the highly creative young Avicii, he decided to begin formal studies in music.

At Brunel University, he self-produced his first LP “Endymion Dreams”, which was reviewed to high praise by the examiner, a music reviewer for the Guardian who wrote:

“It’s a mark of your success with this album that I am tempted to assess it as a commercial release rather than as a final year project. Well done!

When not writing and DJ’ing, Chase performs as a fine jazz singer reinterpreting the Great American Songbook and works as a professional French/English bilingual voice actor.

Chase has done radio interviews, and his music has been reviewed in offine and online music sites. Chase’s new EDM song ‘Live Forever’ was aired April 6 on BBC Introducing Berkshire Radio.  

Reviews

“It’s been a busy life, but it’s no wonder that his music is bursting with optimism and energy despite the haunting melodic invention of You Don’t Need to Cry Anymore”.

It really is a wonderful track that pulls you in and wraps itself around like you a hug from a long-missed friend.”  Richard Dowling, Nov 8, 2016.

Chase, thanks so much for your work on this project—and Larry for your professional handling and delivery of everything. My team is thrilled to have this as a part of our project. I’ll share the final product with you once we’re done. Thank you! Feb. 2019 Visaudio

“I can say with confident, genuine and welcome invigoration that Chase is everything you do not expect. His semi-baritone operatic depths could deceive you into thinking you are hearing a seasoned veteran vocalist the 40 something age mark, but this rare talent is barely pushing 21”. Hayes FM Radio Hughie Dixon.

“I’ve found Chase’s performances mesmerising. I presume he made the arrangements himself? Anyway, very impressive.”  Owner of Allegro Arts.

I just played Chase’s Main Title to SEVEN for an old friend of mine who has been a top LA studio musician for about 25 years and who has played for all the great film composers.  Bottom Line: He was “blown away by it” comme on dites!!! He was over the top about it! And this is someone who is very tough on composers and really knows of what he speaks!   In praise of it he used a lot of technical language most of which I didn’t understand.  He said that it “sounded like the work of a top Hollywood film composer!” amicalement, JdG Former agent of Michel Legrand.
