I'm a singer/songwriter in Los Angeles with a BA in music (Composition and voice) from CSU, Fullerton. I grew up in Porterville, CA, where music is nurtured in the schools. I wrote my first song when I was four years old and never stopped. You can see my duet with Melissa Manchester at The Rose in Pasadena on YouTube, along with many other videos. I'd love to connect with you there, and on Facebook and Twitter, so please subscribe, follow and I'll reciprocate. I'm a cantor at Blessed Sacrament Church in Hollywood, CA and am also an lgbt rights activist. I have sung backup for Josh Groban, Melissa Manchester, Alfie Boe, Pete Townsend, Billy Idol, Diahann Carroll and Sarah Vaughan. My songs feature guest artists such as Carol Robbins, Christoph Bull, Paul Nowell, George Reich, Hope Easton, Darek Oles, Sean Winchester, and others. My fans graciously funded two albums and a new indie pop single. I continue to actively promote all my music since it is new to most people.

Hey Johnny,

Thanks for the review of my song, "We Have Never Let Go Of Our Dreams". Glad you enjoyed it.

It is an older song recorded in 1994 on a Tascam 8-track cassette recorder. Glad I studied the recording techniques of George Martin, so I could pack as much sound into that thin cassette tape.

All of those old songs are on the docket to be re-recorded with updated systems.....that is, if I find time to slide one of these older tunes into my new song production schedule.

Best to you in your endeavors.

Chet Nichols
