Chelsey Chavez, a sweet-voiced singer/songwriter/musician and Scripps Ranch resident since 1999, comes from a musical family. Her grandmother was an elementary music teacher and a children’s choir director in the Philippines (“My grandma’s choir even performed for the President of the Philippines!” Chelsey added), and her mother studied piano and guitar, sang in her high school glee club, and currently sings in the choir at St. Gregory the Great church. Chelsey proclaimed, “Music runs in my genes, and has been a passion of mine since I was very young.”

Constantly exposed to rhythm and music, Chelsey started taking piano lessons at age 4, participated in various Christian Community Theater musicals while growing up, and was engrossed in guitar and voice lessons by her late teens. She also honed her dance-to-the-beat abilities as a competitive dancer since the age of 3, and was a Scripps Ranch High School cheerleader. After graduating in 2007, she even worked as the head cheerleading coach for four years.
