Chase McGill grew up in the small town of Columbus, MS. McGill began taking piano lessons at the age of 5 and picked up a guitar at age 12.
"I always hated the actual lessons and having to learn other people's songs", McGill says. "So, to make my mom think I was practicing, I'd have the sheet music in-front of me, but I'd sit for hours and write until I thought I had something that could fool her into thinking a 'real' composer must have done it. It never fooled my teacher..."
By the age of 15, McGill had joined his first rock band where he began playing shows at the local theaters and bars.
"I was sold from the opening chord of the first song I ever played on stage. I knew right then, I'd never want to do anything else."
McGill would go on to play in many different acts ranging from hard rock, to a blues duo, to bluegrass, but in 2008, McGill's fever for writing, recording, and playing landed him in a white, 15 passenger van with an indie-folk rock band where they managed to pull off over 300 shows in 2 years until they decided that Los Angeles, CA would be a good place to settle down for a while.
