2024

Chase, a graduating senior at Coastal Christian High School, began singing in the Wilmington Boys Choir at a young age. Despite COVID interrupting his vocal studies, Chase remained interested in performing. Under the director of Amy Tucker Morgan, Coastal Christian has a Mens' Ensemble, as well as an Honors Ensemble, and Chase is a member of both. He decided to pursue professional musicianship during his private voice lessons with Sara Westermark. He enjoys all genres of music and wants to enhance others' appreciation of it as well. Chase has applied to several universities to pursue vocal performance and commercial music.
