Chase Hollis
Philadelphia
Chase Hollis is no ordinary guy. This jack of all trades is a newcomer to the world of R&B who writes, dances and produces music. Chase manages everything with an easy-going, laid back approach to life. There, he finds the drive, passion and creativity that shapes his own unique musical style, one that will be a hit with fans and critics alike, as it expands into the market.
Born Robert C. Spaulding in Philadelphia, in 1986, Chase and his three younger siblings were raised single handedly by their Jamaican-born mother, Carol Chambers, from whom Chase draws some inspiration. As he grew up in West Philly, he slowly discovered his passion for music while watching MTV. With each introduction to a new song, he would record the music and play it back, while singing along. Often times, he would choreograph dance moves to the music that might have been missing. At a young age, he mastered his musical and dancing talents, which quickly impressed family and friends. As his Uncle Mike recalls, “we used to call him the ‘microphone-fiend’ because he was so skilled in song and dance.”
In fact, Chase gained public recognition during his middle school years. As a contestant in an 8th grade Black History talent show, his rendition of “My Girl” (by The Temptations) won first prize. Again, he performed “I Should Be” (by Dru Hill) for his classmates in the 11th grade, receiving a round of applause. For Chase, music is an inseparable part of his life because as he explains, “it’s a reflection of my soul.” With these accomplishments in hand, his path towards a musical career had begun. The next stop on this path was the prestigious Art Institute of Atlanta, where he gained experience in audio production. As a student, Chase recorded and produced the music of a few visiting bands, including Brian David & Plain Spoken Folk and an international group called Rua-6, an R&B band from Portugal. True to his name, this talented youngster is chasing his dreams to make it in the world of R&B, as well as Reggae and Pop. Record companies looking to introduce their fans to an up-and-coming musician would do well to meet Chase and help him on his way
