A little bit about Gayle Chapman: Gayle began performing on the piano and singing at age two, guitar at age nine, and sang as a pre-teen in hospitals and retirement homes. As a teenager she involved herself in everything from accompanying and coaching a vocal trio to performing in opera choruses for visiting touring Metropolitan Opera's. A voice scholarship to Drake University followed as a natural course in education. As a young adult in Minnesota, Gayle played keyboards in local rock bands singing all the standard rock fare, and left to seek out bigger opportunity's in Minneapolis MN. After a year of musical "jamming around" she auditioned for and became the third member to Prince's first band, playing keyboards and singing back-up. Gayle worked for Prince from 1978 to 1980. Since then her musical work has been focused more on the practical side of life. Since 1987, she has lived in Boise Idaho, and taught many students the art and science of voice training and development. As a performing songwriter, her music is bluesy, rhythmic and melodic. Her lyrics are focused and poignantly emotive as she locks in on matters of the heart. Gayle started an acoustic duo called Black Diamond with Jan Skurzynski in 1989. They produced one folk rock CD, "Black Diamond Change of Direction" and toured to promote themselves. They stopped working together in 1996. That CD is still for sale through Gayle. Just email her at scoringpoint@aol.com. Gayle has performed as a solo artist since 1996, and has joined forces with other Boise musicians on her present self titled CD project. She hand picked this musical team because they have more in common than just a love for music and performance. They love to make music happen! "Gayle Chapman" is a CD of her own compositions, and 2 favorites of hers written by friends. The CD was produced by Gayle at The Audio Lab Sound Recording facility in Boise.
