Early life and career

Born of Cherokee and Sac-Fox Native American descent in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Hampton is the only child of parents Bill and Kenyan and is a 5th generation American roots soul singer. He has been singing since age 2, and by age 15 signed his first recording contract with Disney's Hollywood Records. Chasen has performed his music on stages all over the world, as well as appeared on MTV, VH1, E! channel's The E! True_Hollywood_Story, A&E's Biography, and starred on serial television shows like Fox network's The X-Files and HBO's Big Love, among others. Now co-founder of Buzzfly Rec. with producer Mike Vizcarra, Chasen has the freedom to write and perform with some of the most talented players in the industry.

Hampton began his career as a Mousketeer on The All New Mickey Mouse Club. He starred on the show for a total 7 seasons, hosting it in its final season (1994). As a member of the teen pop group The Party, Hampton also released four albums with Disney's Hollywood Records, charting five hit singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[1] The remake of the Dokken track "In My Dreams" was the highest charting single, reaching #34, and is perhaps the best known hit from The Party. Hampton has acted in several serial television shows and feature films and currently is the vocalist of the rock band Buzzfly, as well as a solo artist. He has been employed as a performing artist, mentor, and performance coach, mentoring and grooming talent, at a leading Performing Arts school in the Los Angeles, California area; he held residency as the Music Director for two of the school's locations.

Chasen has shared the stage with some of the biggest talents and names in the entertainment industry. His music has been been produced by Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Teddy Riley. Over the years, he's appeared with film stars including Ryan Gosling, Keri Russel, and Jessica Biel, and music artists including Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Taylor Dayne, Color Me Badd, and mostly recently (2010) Davey Johnstone and Nigel Olsson of the Elton John Band, and guitar god icon Slash of Guns N Roses/Velvet Revolver.

2007 saw the debut of Chasen's first solo effort album, Something to Believe, released on his own Buzzfly Rec. label.

Beginning February 2011, Chasen is set to tour the southeastern US in support of his 2010 solo release, Drugstore Girls EP. The first tour date, February 7th, is set for Orlando, Florida. It is interesting to note, the cover model for the EP is American model, actress, and former adult film star Kendra Jade Rossi.
