Music Type: Soul, Rock, Melodic Funk!!!
Here is a unique and extraordinary talent a young man with music flowing from his soul.Listen and be arrested by music's son in his purest form!A great song should tell a story, draw upon experiences that consist of the rudimentary elements of life, pain, and love. Journey of Love, Chadwick's debut album, is a testament to the unrelenting desire in all of us to seek out what matters most.
Chadwick's journey of life, however, has been anything but ordinary. Chadwick first started performing at an early age. At two, he sang He's So Good To Me on the radio and at nine, made his first television appearance with HLP Love Campaign. He went on to perform at the White House and Showtime at the Apollo.
Chadwick further honed his skills as a performer traveling across the globe to countries such as Ethiopia, Nigeria, Kenya, England, Italy and France, just for starters. Accompanying him on his journey was his mentor Dr. Henry Porter. When Chadwick's father passed away when he was five, Porter took Chadwick in as his own son. His mother, Roberta Hines, felt aligning him with the insightful, charismatic Porter would be a positive inspiration to her son's life. From that moment on, Porter became perhaps one of the most pivotal influences to who Chadwick the man and performer is today. Growing up in Palmetto/Sarasota, Florida, Chadwick was introduced early to gospel music by his mentor. Following in that tradition, Chadwick earned a degree in Theology. Many wanted Chadwick to follow that road. However, that was not his path.
Music was. Making Music. Writing Music. Performing Music. That was his passion. Pulling from the funk of the Godfather of Soul, James Brown, the rock of GNR and intensity of Michael Jackson, Chadwick would spend the next few years comprising a multitude of original compositions that he describes as “Soul w Rock w Melodic Funk”. Journey of Love tells a story that we all can identify with. From Don't Test Me, which amplifies that in your face betrayal, to I'm So High and Hey Lady which calls upon the emotional drug we all feel in the beginning of a relationship. Coming full circle with the title track, Journey of Love. Chadwick can best be described as passionate, hypnotic and true to the art of music and his audience.
