Hot Chelle Rae is a pop-rock - band from Nashville , Tennessee , and consists of lead singer Ryan Follese, the guitarist Nash Overstreet, the bassist Ian Keaggy and drummer Jamie Follese.
history
Hot Chelle Rae began in 2005 by meeting singer and songwriter Ryan (RK) Follese and guitarist Nash Overstreet. The band began unsigned under the name Miracle Drug, but later changed the name to Hot Chelle Rae. The name comes from Chelle Rae, a MySpace fan who posed as a model and wanted to help the band with their alleged connections with the music industry until it turned out that she was neither a model nor had any connections with the music industry. Overstreet is the son of country music - singer-songwriter Paul Overstreet and the brother of actor Chord Overstreet . The Follesés are the sons of country songwriter Keith Follesé and Keaggy is the son of Phil Keaggy .
In the summer of 2007 the band played as opening act at a sold out concert for rapper Lil Jon . Some time later, also that year, they played a series of events at South by Southwest , a music festival in Austin, Texas (USA), and then went on tour with the band Vedera. They also opened for Taylor Swift on their world tour 'Speak Now'.
In October 2008 the band signed with Jive Records and began work on their first album, Lovesick Electric .
On January 29, 2012, Hot Chelle Rae played her single I like it like that at the Hawaiian Pro Bowl . This is likely to be her most-watched appearance so far, in the only partially occupied Aloha Stadium there were 48,423 spectators, as well as millions in front of the television screens all over the world.
