About Me

Chuck Nix has never been one to do things halfway. Growing up, he maintained an equal devotion to playing guitar, singing, and writing songs, but was irrevocably drawn to songwriting at an early age. Raised in the small town of Decatur, Alabama, Nix was born with music flowing through his veins. He grew up listening to the traditional country music favored by his father and first picked up a guitar at the age of 9. His earliest musical influences included Ronnie Millsap, Hank Williams, and Alabama. After teaching himself to play guitar and spending several years playing in local nightspots with his band, Burning Bridges, he decided to try his luck in Nashville. Moving to Music City with little more than some change in his pocket and a prayer, he began playing the local club circuit and wasted little time in establishing himself as a distinctively charismatic performer. His striking vocal instrument distinctively country with an edge gained him recognition right from the start. While working a series of side jobs, he entered singing contests around town and continued writing a collection of songs that have eventually become his debut album. Ive always been drawn to songs about family and day-to-day life, he notes. I lean towards writing songs with strong messages, songs that present a unique perspective or put a different twist on a story, the ones that portray an image and come to life in the the listeners mind. Chucks upcoming album, Everyday, reflects both his reverence for countrys roots and his ability to bring something original to his musical performances and the songs he writes. The Alabama-bred performer has never been shy about challenging the norm or defying expectations, but with his upcoming album, Everyday, he has topped himself. The result is a riveting album whose superb songs are matched by creative arrangements and soulful performances that enhance the songs' emotional impact while driving Nix to some of his most spirited vocal performances to date. Everyday features I See the Moon, a touching portrayal of lost love, co written by Chucks late father, Promises is the gripping tale of an ending relationship and letting go, whereas Victoria and Down in Mexico lend a feeling of good-times and to Nixs album. Chuck also has a knack for combining his sense of humor with insight about life and relationships, as seen on tracks like She Only Loves Me When Shes Drinking, and he displays his considerable talent as a storyteller on Shes an Angel. Despite his success, Nixs roots are never far from his mind. He takes very seriously his role in furthering country music, especially its tradition of songs about love and loss, strength and hope parts of everyday life. The people who do it well, who can wrench the emotion from their hearts and wring it into the lyrics of a song, are valued among all others. Nix has long since established himself as part of this exceptional group, but he is not one to be content with his achievements, and he has no desire to rest on his laurels. Im very proud to call myself a country musician, he attests. I love what I do. It gives me a sense of direction and purpose in life. Im living my dream, and I hope everyone else is enjoying the ride.
