How to best discover who we are? For many, this question is at the center of nearly everything in their lives, and for artists, that question is also intrinsically part of their creative energy and trajectory.
Chase Bell has been known to do nearly all. He's a singer-songwriter, producer, and instrumentalist who's long labored with musicians of all stripes and has had a hand in Hollywood, creating and producing music for Tv and film alike.
His newest song and music video strip away at all unnecessary fluff to get to the crux of his message. With an acoustic guitar and a voice tempered in fiery pop energies, he lays his thesis as plainly as possible: To cultivate our self-expression is to really find ourselves.
The message seems to be about the ongoing process of seeking inner congruence, authenticity, and creativity as the active state of being, rather than arriving at some big realization all of the sudden after troublesome soul-searching.
'The song “Be Myself” speaks to the struggle and success inherent in understanding one’s self-expression. Chase Bell, being an artist, lyricist, and music creator, wrote the song 4 years before its release in 2022, which speaks to the artists’ battle with perfectionism. Over those 4 years since its genesis, the song has gone through many forms of production and musical styles which give the song an underlying musical richness despite its simplicity as a two-track classically styled SingerSongwriter folk song.'
Chase's message, in all its powerful clarity and catchy delivery, has gotten around the world already, reaching The Capital of Uganda where it was picked up by FireKStars, a group of orphan kids who sing and dance to the invigorating chorus.
