Chad Beall was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He has traveled and performed throughout the western United States and as far east as Nashville. His travels included recording sessions in Albuquerque, Los Angeles, Denver and Nashville. One of his favorite destinations is San Diego, where he lived and made music in 2000. More recently, Chad has settled in Colorado… where he now calls home.Encouraged by his parents, who recognized their son's natural gift of making musical sense with his early poundings at the keyboard, Chad began piano lessons at age 7. After a few formative years, Chad's interest really took off around the age of 10, when he began composing his own music. Only a year later, his song, "In the Meadow," won local and regional competitions and nearly squeaked out a national win. "I actually wrote a story that accompanied the song. It was about a bunny running away from hunters... and before performing it, my teacher would read it aloud to the audience... I remember being so embarrassed!"

The energy from these victories sparked a love for composing; unfortunately, the expectations that were now placed on Chad led his teacher to assign him music he didn't like or want to learn. He soon quit lessons, but the self-motivated boy just learned on his own. During those years, Chad avidly played basketball and golf. He learned quickly that he was athletic and picked up any sport very quickly. Unfortunately he ran into a similar situation in sports as he had with private instruction and stopped playing for his High School Team. But, he took his love for the sport and volunteer coached an eighth grade basketball team to win the Albuquerque Youth Basketball League championship. “I coached the way I felt I should have been coached and made sure the most important thing the kids learned was to believe in themselves and each other, in addition to the technical aspects of the game,” he shares. “Having faith, hope, and belief in yourself will get you further than any talents you may possess! When you are young, it is really that important.”

Chad has also donated many hours of community service at numerous events, including hosting and performing at a benefit concert for the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation where all of the proceeds went to the cause. “I like to volunteer for organizations focused on conditions experienced by my family and the families of my friends. I'm hopeful that the revenue generated from ticket sales will assist the research to continue striving for a cure.”

Empathy is a key characteristic for Beall, whose songs often convey themes of mutual understanding, tolerance and appreciation. “If we can get to know others better,” he explains, “it ultimately leads to us getting to know ourselves. I believe in the potential of us all to create our own reality. We have the ability to choose how we act and react to our environment through our attitudes.” Today, Chad's music has been heard throughout the US and Canada. It is a direct story of his life... the people, the relationships, the drama, and the great moments that put his unique gifts into proper perspective. Chad has the singular ability to make you want to feel your own life through his music and lyrics- and to keep coming back for more.

“If I had just one thing to tell the world, it would be: laugh,” he concludes. “Find humor in everything you can. Run, dance, cry, love, take deep breaths, take your shoes off, follow your dreams, smile, meet as many people as you can, travel, believe in yourself, carpe diem, rent your favorite movies, never quit, keep a journal to remind you of all you’ll ultimately forget!, and love like you’ve never loved before. Try not to take anything for granted; it’s okay to regret, but only for the reason that it gives you the opportunity to strive to make things better. Seconds after the darkest of night, is the first of light!”
