CHAYCE BECKHAM

Rising country star Chayce Beckham won American Idol singing his own songs and was the first to win singing an original song. Beckham is continuing to write his own music and chart his own path as a country artist, scoring his first #1 at country radio with the platinum hit single “23.” A California native schooled on tough times and a mix of country, rock, hip hop and beyond, the fiery songwriter with his own creative compass started a habit of heart-on-his-sleeve lyricism after a hard season of life left him feeling empty. Yet, his warm rough rasp and steadfast drive charmed the nation on Idol’s 19th season. With more than 1.2 billion global on-demand streams and counting, the bluesy and brutally honest anthem “23” debuted at #1 on both iTunes All Genre and Country singles charts, and led to his first album, Bad for Me. Earning next-big-thing and artist to watch predictions from the Grand Ole Opry, CMT, Amazon Music, MusicRow and more, Beckham is touring and is gearing up to share new music from his forthcoming EP Old Fashioned including the previously released “Dirt Floor,” a neo western sounding summer love song, and his new track “Take Me Home.” Dropping on September 25, fans can pre-add/pre-save/preorder Old Fashioned here.
