About
Chad Tolson’s journey begins in Windsor, California, shaped by Sonoma County’s rolling vineyards and suburban energy. Raised on Christian music, his world expanded when Blink-182 opened the door to punk and alternative rock. Soon after, Forgot About Dre sparked a deep connection to hip-hop—laying the foundation for an eclectic sound that now stretches from rap and alternative to emo, pop, and post-core.
Now based in San Francisco, Chad’s artistry is rooted in a commitment to vulnerability, hope, and purpose. From an early age, faith played a central role in his creative direction, shaping his belief that music can serve something greater than self-expression alone.
After nearly two decades of searching for his true voice, Chad reached a turning point in 2025—not by overcoming every struggle, but by embracing growth as a daily practice. His music reflects that shift: honest, grounded, and forward-moving.
