Biography:
Past

Born in Kansas in 1989, Chantelle discovered her love of singing at a young age through a Sandi Patty cassette tape. She began singing with a local children's choir at age ten, and began voice lessons at age twelve. Since then, she has achieved honors in many genres, including being selected as a soprano soloist on five different occasions in the choirs she has been a member of over the years (including the state wide Golden Belt Vocal Festival and the Flint Hills Masterworks Chorale, led by Dr. Reg Pittman of K-State), competing in the final round of "Junction City Idol" in 2007, and singing the National Anthem twice at regional NATPA events. In December 2006 Chantelle recorded a Christmas album which was met with delight by her family and friends.

Major musical influences in Chantelle's life have been her piano teacher (she took lessons for ten years, beginning at age five) Loretta Petr, former voice teachers Matt Fallesen and Anne Walker, current voice teachers Leia Edwards and Katharina Janik-Bossman, and all of the choir directors she has sung under. Chantelle takes her inspiration from artists such as Judy Garland, Leonard Bernstein, Frank Sinatra, Charlotte Church, Shaun Cassidy, Leontyne Price, Douglas Sills, and Barbara Cook.



Present / Future

Chantelle is currently focusing on recording her debut full-lenghth jazz album "The Summer Night," as well as a demo of classical music. This fall she plans to visit New York City to attend the Bernstein Festival, and in hopes of pursuing various musical opportunities. In the early summer of 2009 she will embark on European tour as a member of the Flint Hills Masterworks Chorale.
