Meet Chappell Roan
Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, known by her stage name Chappell Roan, hails from Missouri and is a singer, songwriter, and drag queen. She is 26 years old, born on February 19, 1998, in Willard, Missouri.
Her stage name is a combination of her grandfather’s last name, Dennis K. Chappel, and her favorite song, “The Strawberry Roan” by Curley Fletcher.
Chappell’s musical style draws influence from 80s synth-pop, dark pop, and queer music aesthetics, inspired by drag queens.
She began writing music in her teens and gained attention at music showcases, eventually catching the eye of Atlantic Records. Her first EP, “School Nights,” and single “Pink Pony Club” marked her entry into the music scene in 2020. It was with her debut album, “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess,” released in 2023, that she achieved international fame, particularly within the queer community on platforms like X and TikTok.
Her song “Good Luck, Babe!” garnered 7 million streams in its first week, reached Spotify’s Top 10, and debuted at number 77 on the Billboard Hot 100.
