Biography
From the time he was five years old, Chad Brownlee had dreams of one day becoming a professional hockey player. Growing up in Canada, he quickly developed a love for the game and in 2003, was drafted by the Vancouver Canucks in the NHL entry draft.

**Chad Brownlee releases his debut album on August 31st. Visit Chad's official website now to pre-order the album for your chance to win a special edition, autographed Larrivee acoustic guitar!**

It would be difficult to describe Chad without mentioning his hockey background, as it has made him who he is today. It wasn’t until later in life that he realized another passion burning deep inside him--Music. At seventeen, Chad was given his first guitar as a gift from his parents. Self taught, he quickly learned how to put strings into chords and chords into songs. Soon after, he was composing his own songs. Although he had no ambition to follow a career in music, he used it as a release from the game of hockey.
