Chad Courtney makes indie pop that lives somewhere between emotional honesty and cinematic daydreams. His voice has a way of pulling you in and his songs blend acoustic textures, dreamy synths, and alt-pop rhythms to tell stories that feel personal and lived-in.
In January 2025, Chad released Liberty, a collaboration with Riley Polanksi. The song landed on Spotify’s Next Gen Singer-Songwriter playlist, marking a meaningful moment in their career’s.
His debut EP Rubber Knees Since August and his next project, coming summer 2025, move through everything from quiet, gut-punch ballads to bold pop swings, but all of it’s rooted in raw feeling. His sound carries hints of Americana—front porches, long highways, dusty skies—and his lyrics often dive into identity, growing pains, and emotional chaos.
Inspired by artists like Lizzy McAlpine, Ryan Beatty, and the pop magic of early 2000s radio, Chad’s music feels like flipping through an old journal in the middle of the night. Chad Courtney is carving out a space where pop music becomes a vessel for truth-telling—quietly bold and undeniably heartfelt.
