Mini bio
How it started.
Growing up in Missouri, Chappell shared covers and original songs on YouTube. Atlantic Records discovered her there and signed her at 17. Her first EP, School Nights, arrived in 2017. Her stage name honors her grandfather Dennis K. Chappell and his favorite song, “The Strawberry Roan.”
Finding her world.
Moving to Los Angeles helped her explore queer community and build the drag character she performs as Chappell Roan. “Pink Pony Club,” co-written with Dan Nigro, became a turning point. After Atlantic dropped her in 2020, she returned home for a time, then went back to LA and signed with Amusement/Island in 2023.
The Midwest Princess years.
Her debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, came out in September 2023. Its songs connect small-town longing with queer love, humor and dance-floor release. “Good Luck, Babe!” and performances at Coachella and Lollapalooza helped bring her to a much wider audience in 2024. The album reached number two on the Billboard 200.
Giving something back.
In 2025 she won the Grammy for Best New Artist and used her speech to ask for better support for developing musicians. She also founded the Midwest Princess Project to support trans youth and LGBTQ+ communities. In 2026 her work expanded to Fortnite, a MAC Viva Glam collection and a feature on Olivia Rodrigo’s “expectations.”
