Chapman is best known for her two big hits: "Fast Car" and "Give Me One Reason." Those are both story songs about relationships in various states of decay, but a lot of her discography is filled with protest songs like "Talkin' 'Bout A Revolution" and "Why?"
She doesn't do many interviews, rarely talks to the audience when she performs, and isn't often seen in public when she's not working, but that's not because she's shy, she'd just rather make and play music than talk about it. Keeping mum sets her apart from the pack and leaves some mystery. She has social media accounts but they're run by members of her team.
Chapman was born and raised in a working-class neighborhood in Cleveland, Ohio, but her musical and academic talents earned her a scholarship to a fancy prep school in Connecticut called the Wooster School. Her sophomore year, the school chaplain, Reverend Robert Tate, took a collection to buy her a new guitar. He's the "Rev. Tate" Chapman thanks in the credits of her debut album.
