Chantel Hampton was born and raised in the inner city of Boston, Massachusetts to a hidden legacy of talented musicians. Fearlessly, at age of 7 she started composing and performing her music at school talent shows and local church events. Her father, LeRoix Hampton III a pianist and producer, would bring Chantel to a lot of his band rehearsals and studio sessions, where she watched and absorbed a lot of the knowledge she has today.

At age 9, Ms. Hampton became the youngest member of a fifty-voice youth choir, which allowed her to travel throughout America and Europe performing before thousands. Soon after she developed a love for songwriting and a strong work ethic as an artist. Chantel continued to work hard at her craft and at age 15 she started to pursue a higher call from God.

Chantel’s discipline in music and academics resulted in her becoming a two-time winner of The Berklee College of Music’s National Songwriting Competition and a full-tuition scholarship recipient to Berklee College Boston, Massachusetts. In her freshmen year, she was made a student ambassador and shared the stage with greats such as Shiela E., & Anita Baker. In 2006 she was sent to the Nancy Jazz Pulsation Festival in Nancy, France. Chantel also shared her gift with the women of Sudan as a performer & vocal producer for the We Are All Connected Project sponsored by Berklee College & Mercy Corps. In May of this year she completed her undergraduate degree in Music Business & Management.

This past February, Chantel worked heavily with Youth Explosion ministries out of New York City, co-writing, co-producing and leading the anthem for Teen Mania’s Battle Cry Recreate 2008: Greater New York. She was given the privilege of leading a 300-voice youth choir and performing for over 13,000 people. She also sang the anthem at Battle Cry’s Winston-Salem, North Carolina event, which had 10,000 attendants. She has also been privileged to write for and record on several projects both nationally & internationally such as Allen & Allen, Rob White, Andre Ward and Bishop T.D Jakes’ youth project etc.

Her resumé and work history read as someone’s twice her age, working hands on with youth, performing, writing, and producing for several local and national acts and participating as a primary worship leader in her church. This young lady has honed her skills and paid her dues. She is now ready for a new level of success not to flaunt fame and fortune but to be a positive role model for a dreaming generation.
