Growing up in the small town of Marinette, WI, theatre and music weren’t necessarily encouraged; sports were the main focus. And while he loved sports, he always felt the need to perform, whether it was being the class clown in grade school, offering to read parts in plays that were read in English class, or offering to emcee the school assemblies. This eventually came to a head when the fateful day where he was given detention for being late to math class too many times, and as “torture”, the math teacher played Frank Sinatra as a punishment for kids. Naturally, Chase, thinking he was the only one in the room, decided that he would sing a little Sinatra since he loved his music growing up. But however, the student body president of the choir walked in, and forced Chase to audition for the musical since he heard him sing, and from there, the rest is history. Chase discovered his purpose in life and has committed his life to the arts through performing/directing plays and musicals, being the front-man for multiple Northeastern Wisconsin bands (The Michigan Shivers, The Fusion Xpress Orchestra, FBI & The Untouchable Horns), teaching voice & acting lesson for children at his voice studio, and more!
