H.O.T.T.O.G.O.! Bold pop hooks, sex positivity, honest song writing, and a heavy dose of glitter make up the world of Chappell Roan, the multi-faceted pop artist taking the world by storm. The LA-based singer, songwriter, and performer exploded into stardom with her 2023 debut studio album, "The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess". With her larger-than-life performances surrounding the album, she swiftly built up an impassioned community of listeners. Instead of resting her laurels on fleeting digital moments, she’s intentionally built her own fantastical musical universe – one that celebrates queer expression and honouring your true self – that everyone wants to join in on.
Chappell knew from an early age that she wanted to be an entertainer, so she took acting classes as a kid, picked up the piano at age 12, and became known as “the singer girl” in high school. Then at age 16, she released "Die Young", a brooding folk hit that brought her a major label record deal, leading to her 2017 debut EP, "School Nights". Yet Chappell Roan, in all her fabulous glory, truly began to take shape with the 2020 synth-pop smash 'Pink Pony Club’. Inspired by everything from Bratz dolls, burlesque, and Hannah Montana, the Chappell Roan universe is now built on all the gaudy, sparkly, fun things that Chappell cherished when she was little. “I’m just trying to honor my inner child who thought she wasn’t worth anything, and prove to her that she actually is a really good person”, she concludes. On May 30 we'll join her in this celebration at OWF 2025!
