Vituhmins Catch up w/ Chad Tepper
Vituhmins Interview with Chad Tepper
For our very first Vituhmins interview feature, we have a very special guest known as Chad Tepper! The Orlando, Florida native has had an amazing journey that has placed him into the public eye. The musician has amassed over 3 million followers across social media. According to Chad, he was always playing music and singing for as long as he could remember. His friends would affirm him that his voice was good and once the social media began taking off, Chad began touring and the rest was history. Chad has a voice and image that people want to buy into, which is why the music career was always inevitable. We had the chance to catch up with Chad for an exclusive interview about his career and a new Single called “There For Me” which features Bowling For Soup.
Interview:
David: Great to meet you Chad, Thank you for joining Vituhmins for our first interview! So, How did you get started as an artist?
Chad: “I’ve been writing and creating music my whole life is this something I would do to keep me happy. Music has always been a big part of my life. Just stoked I get to do it full time now.”
David: Who inspires you to create music and who would be your dream collaboration?
Chad: “All classic rock inspires me! A lot of punk pop from the 2000s... Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, My Chemical Romance, Bowling For Soup, Limp Bizkit, Aerosmith, Blink-182, Sum 41, Nirvana, Weezer, The Killers.”
David: Those are some legends for sure! What has been the best part of your journey?
Chad: “Best part of my journey is working with some of my idols that I’ve looked up to my whole life.”
David: What is your creative process like?
Chad: “I write music all the time - 24 hours a day, but when I go into a studio, I usually have an idea and then I’ll make it happen. Sometimes I just sing random shit and other times I write it out. Most of it comes from stuff I'm actually dealing with in my life in that exact moment - that week or month or whatever it may be.”
David: Do you have any hobbies outside of music?
Chad: “Yes, I love to skateboard do dumb shit, love to paint, write poetry, I love to go thrift store shopping, and also just Adventure - random shit.”
David: Awesome! So Tell me about your new Single and the story behind it
Chad: “It’s a song about a girl who says that you’re never there for her, but really you do everything for her and she’s ungrateful. Getting Jaret from Bowling For Soup on it was a complete dream, since I grew up listening to BFS.”
David: The new Single is amazing! What is a piece of advice that you would tell up and coming artists
Chad: “Don’t listen to what anybody has to say. The only person stopping you from your dreams is you. I've had so many people tell me I would never do shit in my life you got this just make art Make it you be original. That and get a good team around you. Even if it's one person, get that team around you.”
David: What should we look out for next?
Chad: “MORE MUSIC and more videos. I can't wait to just keep it going. New singles are on the way sooner than you even know.”
David: Thank you so much for your time Chad. It was great catching up and getting to know you! Everyone please make sure to stream Chad Tepper’s new song “There For Me” and keep an eye out for the music video releasing soon!
