About Me

Google Chantelle Barry and you'll find many an article painting her as a provocative bad girl from Australia with no real celebrity except what came from winning a reality TV competition 'Popstars'. A record deal at age 19, a ranking in FHM's world's sexiest women at 20 and a move to Los Angeles at 21 in the pursuit of a dream to pop stardom all sounds surreal but character building is more like it. With an ex-musician for a father Chantelle grew up in a musical household often performing at local festivals, concerts and making television appearances with her two sisters in a trio called 'The Barry Sisters'. At 16 she started writing songs and competing in International Song Festivals performing in Italian, Portuguese and French. Chantelle now resides in Los Angeles and takes much joy and release in songwriting with influences Sheryl Crow, Carole King, India Arie, Fleetwood Mac & John Mayer. Check out my new 'making of' video above. Gives you an idea of what went in to recording my latest song 'Hello'. more to come here and on youtube.com
