Burgeoning writer and producer Chandler Walters picked up a guitar at 9 years old and never looked back. By the time he was in high school, the Marietta, Georgia native was singing and playing lead guitar in a trio. Drawing inspiration from various artists like John Mayer, the Eagles, and 70s and 80s rock bands, after graduating high school Walters dove into a new lane to express himself – pedal steel guitar. Soon after learning the emotive instrument, Walters moved to Nashville to pursue a career in music and began touring, both as a solo act and a guitar player for other artists. While on the road, Walters showcased his skills on TikTok, racking up views and catching the eye of country trailblazer ERNEST. After meeting in person, Walters joined the rising star’s band and eventually signed a publishing deal with ERN’s Cadillac Music and Big Loud. Quickly establishing himself as a songwriter, Walters earned three major label cuts on Bailey Zimmerman’s record-breaking debut album Religiously – “Fix’n To Break,” “Is This Really Over,” and “Other Side Of Letting Go.”
