Since 2002, Chatelain has immersed himself in the New Orleans music scene, playing both as a solo-acoustic act and with a backing band. He has performed for audiences at a variety of venues, including world-famous Tiptina's, the Howlin' Wolf and Carrollton Station. He was also the featured musical guest on a local television program in 2002. In July, he released his debut CD "Public School, Fast Food and Blue Jeans"
