Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, known professionally as Chappell Roan, was born on February 19, 1998, in Willard, Missouri, USA. Growing up in a small Midwestern town, she began playing piano and singing in church from an early age.
As a teenager, she uploaded original cover songs to YouTube, landing a record deal with Atlantic Records at age 17. She adopted the stage name Chappell Roan in honor of her grandfather, Dennis Chappell, and released her debut EP “School Nights” in 2017.
After being dropped by Atlantic, Roan moved to Los Angeles as an independent artist, collaborating with producer Dan Nigro. Her breakthrough came with the 2020 single “Pink Pony Club,” a queer-pop anthem inspired by West Hollywood nightlife.
Signed to Nigro’s Amusement Records and Island Records, she released her debut studio album “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess” in 2023. Driven by hit singles like “Good Luck, Babe!”, the album exploded in popularity through 2024.
Roan capped off her meteoric rise by winning the prestigious Grammy Award for Best New Artist, along with several MTV Video Music Awards for her theatrical live performances and songwriting.
In late 2026, Chappell Roan remains one of music’s most talked-about figures. Her recent single releases like “The Subway” and headline festival appearances keep her trending at the top of music news and fan conversations.
