Road to success
She was born in the small town of Willard, Missouri, and began her career by uploading covers and the occasional original song to YouTube as a teen under her birth name, Kayleigh Rose.
In 2015, at the age of 17, after her covers attracted attention from record labels, she moved to Los Angeles and signed with Atlantic Records.
Chappell Roan: 5 surprising facts

1. Real name
As with most pop divas, Chappell Roan is her stage persona, and her real name is Kayleigh Rose Amstutz.
2. Dropped from label
Before her big break, Chappell was dropped from her music label, Atlantic, in 2020 after two of her singles were deemed not profitable.
3. Popstar friendship
She used to record her music in a studio adjacent to the Driver's License singer, Olivia Rodrigo. This friendship led to Chappell helping record backing vocals for Olivia's songs, and she was invited to be her opening act for the Sour Tour in 2022. Chappell was also the support act on the first leg of the Guts World Tour in 2024.
4. Church and Christian Youth Camps
Chappell was raised in the small, conservative town of Willard, Missouri. During her childhood, she went to church three times a week and spent summers at Christian Youth Camps. The singer, who is a lesbian, told Variety in 2023 that she grew up ''feeling very different'' and ''depressed''.
5. Bipolar disorder
She was diagnosed with bipolar II disorder at age 22 after dealing with periods of depression and mood swings. She told Vanity Fair in 2023 of the difficulty of balancing her career and diagnosis: "It's so hard with this job because there's no checking out.''
She released her debut EP with Atlantic in 2017 and began working with producer Dan Nigro. However, her lack of commercial success did not please her label, which opposed the release of her 2020 single "Pink Pony Club."

After being pushed by Chappell and Dan, the song was eventually released, and while it received acclaim, it did not fare well commercially at the time.
"I was so devastated," Chappell told Rolling Stone of the lack of support from her label. "It made me second-guess myself."
In August 2020, Atlantic dropped a then 22-year-old Chappell, the same week she broke up with her boyfriend of four years. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, she moved back to Missouri to live with her parents and was diagnosed with bipolar II disorder later that year.

"It was devastating to feel so committed to my art and feel so betrayed by the system and dehumanized," Chappell said in her Grammy's acceptance speech. "If my label had prioritized it, I could have been provided care for a company I was giving everything to."
Chappell soon moved back to Los Angeles and began working as a production assistant on an HBO show and as a nanny to make ends meet. She continued working on her music independently, but eventually reconnected with Dan in 2022, signing to his own label, Amusement Records.
They began putting out steady work until the release of her debut album in 2023, which became a sleeper hit, boosted by her appearance as the opening act for Olivia Rodrigo's GUTS World Tour.

During her Grammy acceptance speech, Chappell drew attention to young, developing artists signed with record labels that are often left without resources and, most notably, health insurance.
"I told myself that if I ever won a Grammy and got to stand up here before the most powerful people in music, I would demand that labels in the industry profiting millions of dollars off of artists would offer a liveable wage and health care, especially developing artists," she stated.
