Chad Perrone Bio:
Rising young sensation Chad Perrone is set to release is debut solo album 'Used To Dream' within the next couple of months.
Its evident when listening to Chad Perrone sing that there isnt a lot he holds back both on stage, and on his records. His introspective lyrics are dark and intense, but within them lay a hint of optimism and hope. Everyone goes through dark times. And we all deal with those times differently. I write. And in doing that, Im not doing myself any favors by sugar coating how I feel. Its apparent that he did himself right on his latest effort, a solo record, to be released later this year that he is producing with longtime friend Dennis Carroll. The record, a collection of 12 songs that were written over the course of 3 years, is a departure from the work hes done with the popular Boston based band Averi..
The Haverhill, MA native started writing and recording when he was in high school. I used to spend an entire week in the basement recording songs, playing all the instruments etc. I think I was hooked at an early age on the feeling I got when I had finished a song listening to something I had created. And it would appear that hes come full circle, returning to the studio to record his most personal work yet.
I wanted the record to be about the songs. I didnt want the focus to be on the perfect take or elaborate production. We recorded the [disc] in Dennis apartment, so we were a little limited with what we could do. Its not as polished as the stuff Ive done with Averi but Im okay with that. I told Dennis that I just wanted to lay the songs down and see where we go with them. As long as the vibe was right and what I was trying to say came across
When asked why he chose to explore the solo opportunity Perrone said that I didnt make a solo record with the intention of turning my back on Averi. I made this record for me, because as a songwriter these were the songs that needed to come out. And they are so personal, so much more a reflection of me as an individual that I wanted complete say in how they were interpreted and arranged so I did what I believe I needed to do, both as a artist and as a regular guy searching for something
Perrone has played shows all over New England, selling out clubs like the Paradise in Boston and garnering praise as both a performer and a songwriter in well respected newspapers and magazines. This year he is being recognized for his individual performance with a Boston Music Award Nomination for Best Local Male Vocal.
Im proud of everything Averi has done and accomplished. Ive been places with the guys in Averi that I never thought Id go and I hope to go further with them at some point. But Im excited for this Im excited and anxious to take this step to show people what I have to offer. And if the record is any indication of this, that could be a lot.
