BRANDON CHASE JOINS FORCES TO STOP HUMAN TRAFFICKING WITH 8 DAYS FILM

BUDDING COUNTRY ARTIST STANDS UP AGAINST HUMAN TRAFFICKING 
WITH 8 DAYS FILM AND MOVEMENT

CHASE USES MUSIC PLATFORM AND SONG “ARISE” TO INSPIRE HOPE AND 
ACTION IN HUMAN TRAFFICKING 



PRESS RELEASE

Nashville, TN– (July 18, 2014) - The Voice Team Blake Season 5 contestant and rising country music star Brandon Chase has a heart for missions and especially those captive in modern day slavery. Human trafficking is getting more ink these days but it’s still somewhat a silent epidemic that happens all over the world, and even here in the United States. Chase is broken hearted over this devastating issue and has been passionate about stopping this horrific crime even before it was a “hot topic” issue. In 2011, Chase wrote a ballad, “Arise,” to encourages victims to trust in the redemption and hope that is available to them.

His heart and song earned him a role in the upcoming feature film 8 DAYS. Produced by Dallas based film company After Eden Pictures and SHARE a 501(c) 3 non-profit. This film is inspired by actual events to raise awareness and funds for anti-trafficking organizations and safe homes across the country.

“Words can’t even begin to explain how awful this crime truly is,” says Chase. “There’s nothing more precious than a human life and it disgusts me to know that there are people out there that think they have the right to buy and sell a priceless soul as if they were just some inanimate object.”

The 8 DAYS movement, dedicated to ending human trafficking, will host events in eight major US cities as fundraisers, political rallies, screenings and concerts that benefit local sex trafficking organizations. This unconventional and unique approach to filmmaking pours ticket sales directly into local sex trafficking organizations. These organizations will use these funds to rescue and rehabilitate victims as well as build and expand safe homes. Brandon Chase will be a featured musical guest at these events.


“Becoming aware of the fact that human trafficking is happening all around us is the first step towards making a difference and becoming vocal about the crime starts to shake things up,” continues Chase. “Taking action is what results in the freedom of the victims and the captivity of the perpetrators. I want to see trafficking eradicated and real justice served, that’s why I’m taking action."

Premiere Info:

September 11 Seattle, WA

In addition to the premieres, the film will be available to over 500 human trafficking organizations for showings across the country for eight days beginning on October 3rd.

EXCLUSIVE ARTIST INTERVIEW: INTRODUCING BRANDON CHASE (NBC'S THE VOICE SEASON 5)


If you're a fan of NBC's "The Voice", you may recognize Brandon Chase from season 5. With obvious charisma and a winning personality, Brandon Chase comes across as a shy, unassuming artist, humble in his attitude and charming in his character, but don't let that fool you. There is nothing shy, unassuming or quiet about his talent, it speaks rather loudly for itself. Having worked hard as an independent artist, writing and selling his own music, his turn on The Voice thrust Brandon into the spotlight as an artist with a future that is now a little more defined and a little less uncertain. He's got talent, that's been seen by millions, now he's ready to prove it outside of your television sets, through live performances nationwide. Brandon took time out to answer some questions for us so that we can help you get to know him  just a little better. We found him while surfing iTunes back in 2012 and started promoting his talent then, but now, with a brand new single, "One", just released to country radio, it's time that the whole world has a chance to see the natural talent that Brandon brings to the entertainment table.

1. For those who might not be familiar with your story, give us a little background into who Brandon Chase is, both personally and artistically.

I consider myself a very driven person in both the personal and professional aspects of my life. I’m very passionate about everything I do and always strive for excellence and quality. Having escaped the clutches of death only a few days after I was born, I live each day with purpose and passion to inspire and uplift others on this journey called life.

2  You were an independent artist, recording and releasing your own music before you auditioned for The Voice. That's actually how we found you, surfing on iTunes and came across your cd, "Country Enough", back in November 2012. What lead you from that point to "The Voice"?

After a pretty successful run of my "Country Enough - EP" as an independent artist, I found myself at a bit of a crossroad. There was momentum in my career, but at the same time I felt a little stuck. In that time of wondering what was next for me, I got an email from The Voice inviting me to a private audition. The timing of it all was really perfect, and after much thought and prayer, I felt like it was the right opportunity for me.

3. What is the biggest personal challenge that you're currently pushing yourself to achieve?

Diving a little deeper into my personal songwriting.

4. You have a new single out, "One". Tell us about the song and how it came about that this particular song would be your debut single.

As a songwriter, I typically write all of my own music. However, "One" came to me through a publishing companies catalog. The first time I heard it, I knew it was a great song. I loved the story and how relatable it is to really almost anyone. Then, when we got into the studio to record it, it really just took on a whole new life. While the song was still being tracked, we already knew it had to be the first one out of the gate.

5. Who or what has been your strongest motivator?

My strongest motivation comes from peoples reaction to my music. There's nothing more rewarding to me than when someone's life is impacted in a positive way through my music.

6. Who is your most influential artist?

Definitely Keith Urban. He's an incredible musician, singer, and songwriter. And from what I hear, he's a really great guy personally. I can't wait to meet him!

7. Do you have hobbies that keep you busy when you are not performing or in the studio?

When I'm not busy on the road, in the studio, etc. I really just love doing all the normal stuff. Watching movies with friends, hunting, bowling, etc. And one of my favorite things in the world to do besides music is snowboarding. But unfortunately, living in Texas I don't get to do that very much!

8. What is at the top of your bucket list, musically and non-musically? 

Musically: to play at the new Dallas Cowboys AT&T stadium.

Non-Musically: skydive without an instructor strapped to my back.

9. What's your favorite memory of being on "The Voice" and do you keep in touch with any of the other contestants?

My favorite memory of The Voice was walking into the room to meet my family right after my blind audition. It was such a special moment for all of us that we will never forget.

I try to keep in touch as much as possible with the friends I made while on the show. But of course we all have busy lives and usually end up on completely opposite schedules. But they will always be great friends regardless of how much we end up communicating.

10. Having been that indie artist struggling to get heard, besides "don't give up", what's the best advice you can give to another artist just getting started? 

Well first of all, make sure that music is absolutely what you feel like you were put on this earth do to. Because if there's any second guessing at all, it's probably not for you. It takes a lot of heart, a lot of determination, and even more endurance. You will hear the word "no" many more times than you can imagine, and at times it really hurts. But no matter what, you just have to keep going as if you heard "yes".

SINGLE REVIEW: "ONE" - BRANDON CHASE

Single: "One"
Artist: Brandon Chase
Reviewer: Han Van Meegerin
Twitter: @HanVanMeegerin



Brandon Chase is already setting the world a ablaze with his first single, "One" off his first album. "One" is a form fitting first single for Chase as he intuitively taps into the true power of one. For most people breathing comes easy, but that was not the case for Chase. Despite obstacles, his tiny body fought to defy death by building upon one successful breath after another. Truly living one day  at a time, his life's journey is one of inspiration.

"One" is not a novel song topic. It is the typical boy meets girl, boy wants and needs girl tale. In this case, the blue eyes of a maiden capture the one heart of a young Casanova. This sets off the all too familiar feelings of love and lust that blend together as one.

However, young Chase sings a passionate style into his character that makes this song unique.. The seducer knows the power of one. He has set up his dominoes all in a row. The question is can he knock the first one over, "one night", and benefit from the cascading affect of all the dominoes falling down one at a time and neatly lead to the desired destination.

Other singers offer more bravado when they call for a little less talk and a lot more action, however, Brandon Chase achieves the same by working the mastery of the power of one. He too wants his man to cut to the chase, but he allows it in a more delicate and romantic sort of way. My bet is this fellow gets the one night and each of the one days and one nights that then follow in succession.

You can purchase "One" on iTunes and Amazon.
