In 2009, Kevin felt the need to expand his career beyond the Canadian borders and signed with a new management company that developed a global vision for him. The recording process for a new album was started with the goal of producing product that would be able to compete internationally at the highest levels.

16 months later, the first test comes in the form of the album’s pre-release through the website MySpace and the power of the internet proves to be a solid start for Kevin’s international career.

Kevin spent 45 consecutive days at # 1 on the Canadian My Space Charts in 2 categories: Indie Country Artist & Overall Country Artist, which includes major label acts. During the same time, Kevin continuously was in the Top 5 songs and was rated the #1 artist in all genres numerous times.

Internationally, he spent the same time frame in the Indie Country Top 20, peaking twice at #9. On the Global Overall Country Top 100, which includes all major label artists, he peaked at #51.

These impressive stats gathered interest from international labels and Kevin signed a deal with AGR/Universal in Europe. The album “Hold On Tight” was released in Europe and the Middle East on July 27th, 2011 to critical acclaim.

Two European compilation discs (by Universal and Sony) followed, featuring Kevin Chase alongside Shania Twain, Brad Paisley, Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, Kenny Chesney, Darius Rucker, Carrie Underwood, Jason Aldean, Zac Brown Band, Luke Bryan and Billy Currington.

2012 has also started off with a bang: Kevin Chase became the first Western pop/rock/country artist to tour Mainland China and the first Canadian Country artist, along with Melanie Morgan, whom he invited to join him to tour China. The tour was a tremendous success and plans are under way to return to the Far East.

A new single from “Hold On Tight” was released in May with a pre-release of the video for the song exclusively once again on MySpace to introduce the video to mass audiences globally.

This is only the beginning. The world is ready for Kevin Chase. His instantly recognizable voice, the catchy songs and the driving rhythms are appealing to an ever growing number of fans across the globe. He is a man that audiences easily relate to. There are no frills here, nothing to pretend. What you see is what you get. And that is what audiences are liking about Kevin Chase.
