Chad Brock
Harold Chad Brock (* 31 July 1963 in Ocala , Florida ) is an American country - singer .
Life
Beginnings
Chad began his musical career as a member of the school choir. Supported by his music teacher to the best of his ability, he found more and more pleasure in singing, although his real passion was sport. A career as a football player failed due to knee injuries. After dropping out of his studies, he worked as a car salesman for a while.
He joined a band in the late 1980s and moved to Nashville in 1992 . It was not easy to gain a foothold in the local music scene. A friend put Warner Brothers in touch, but a record deal was never concluded. The heavyweight Brock then worked as a professional wrestler for more than two years before a protracted abductor injury forced him to give up.
Career
In the meantime, Chad Brock had worked his way up musically. He played in clubs with his own band and accompanied established stars on their tours. In 1998, a contract was finally signed with Warner Brothers . In the same year he released his debut album, Chad Brock , which he dedicated to his late music teacher. The single Ordinary Life reached number three on the country charts. His second album Yes! was released in 2000. The single of the same name became his first and so far only number 1 hit. The 2001 produced album, III , could no longer build on the success of its predecessors.
