Sam Chappell with Tauren Wells

-


This is me with Tauren Wells.  When I was managing Andy Mineo, we needed a male vocalist for one of Andy’s projects and Andy loved Tauren’s voice. Tauren actually knew of me because we had some mutual artist friends, but we didn’t meet each other until this project with Andy. Tauren used to be in a Grammy-Nominated band called Royal Tailor. He is a solo artist now and I was told he always wanted to meet me. Tauren is a super talented singer and wonderful guy with a lot of character. It matches his musical gift.

This picture was actually taken in Mobile, Alabama at a studio. Andy invited Tauren to go on tour with him, and while we were touring, Andy wanted to record this song with Tauren. We were going to Mobile, Alabama on a tour stop and Any needed a studio. I knew all the studios in Mobile because of my work with Integrity Music down there. We recorded Tauren’s vocals in that Mobile studio and spent the day working on that song. Tauren is one of the most humble guys you'll ever meet. He is God loving and God fearing. He walks the walk and talks the talk.

Sam Chappell with Lecrae & Andy Mineo at Facebook HQ

-
Image
In this picture we are in Cupertino, California at Facebook’s headquarters. Lecrae, on the left, was launching a new album and we were going out there to raise media support. Andy Mineo was about to release a record too. So here we have Lecrae from Atlanta, Andy from New York, Sam from Nashville, and we’re in Cupertino, California. Lecrae is a recording artist who is the owner and cofounder of Reach Records, and Andy Mineo is an artist on Reach Records.  That day we went to the offices for Apple, Facebook, and Instagram and believe me when I say those campuses are huge. Facebook looks like a college campus, and Apple looks like a big tech center. We were there doing interviews with Lecrae and Andy. My company was managing them both at the same time. I started as a consultant to Reach Records and then Reach asked me to form a management company for their hip hop artists. This included Lecrae, Andy Mineo, Trip Lee, and Tedashi. I never thought I’d be in the hip-hop world. I st...

Sam Chappell Accepts Platinum Record for GRITS "Ooh Ahh", with Joey Elwood

I was the manager for GRITS early on in their career. They were signed to Gotee records and their song “Ooh Ahh (My Life Be Like)” was the first certified platinum record that Gotee ever had. It just got certified in the last couple months of 2018. I was managing the group when all that music happened, but it took years to certify platinum. GRITS is one of the first artists Gotee ever signed and they were some of the early producers of Christian hip-hop. That song was a huge song for them and it’s awesome that it just got commemorated officially. This is me with Joey Elwood who is President of Gotee Records and cofounder with Toby Mac. Joey presented me with the platinum record at the Gotee office in Nashville. Joey’s been a friend of mine for a long time. We were even roommates for a while. We’ve been friends for probably 25 years.
