Growing up

Chappell Roan released her first song, “Die Young”, in 2014 when she was 16. When she was 17, Roan got signed to the label Atlantic Records.
The Rise of a Midwest Princess

Her song, “Good Luck, Babe!”, became popular on social media platforms such as Tiktok and reached number 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100. From there, her popularity only grew after the release of her album, “The Rise and Fall of Midwest Princess”.
