Born on Long Island and raised upstate New
York, Chantal has always been very close with
her family. It is because of
them that her recent music career has come to be...
It started in the fall of
2002 when her great-grandmother had asked her to sing at her church,
but
shortly after her request she returned home from a trip to find that she had
been admitted
to a nursing home (now no longer able to attend church). This
happening inspired Chantal to
record a few Christmas songs on a CD to give to
her. A local country band, Blue Creek (www.bluecreekcountry.com), thought it to be a sweet gesture and agreed to record it for her.
The response to those recordings really surprised Chantal
as they really seemed to touch the
hearts of those around her. In the midst
of a busy marketing career Chantal received an
amazing amount of encouragement and support from those around her and those she knew in
the music industry. However, allowing herself to be
completely
consumed with work, she found it impossible to
take the time to
record a demo CD in aspirations
to follow any type of career in music.
So, a
popular joke amongst her family and friends
was that she would have
to be on an island
entirely removed from her work to accomplish
the CD.
Low & behold, long story short...Chantal
found herself recording country
songs in
a recording studio on the island of Maui.
Bombing around the
island in a little
white jeep that she rented she realized that,
"Everything DOES happen for a reason."
And so the
story goes...let this one be a
reminder to all of us that...It is NEVER
too late to be what you might have been.
