Chuck Allen Floyd

Chuck Floyd was raised in Tecumseh, Oklahoma, a small farming and ranching community about 30 minutes from nowhere. Although his family enjoyed country music and always kept a radio on the local station, Chuck did not grow up in a musical family. In fact, no one he knew played an instrument one would be likely to find in a Nashville studio. He was just a kid that grew up playing basketball, made decent grades and vaguely knew he would end up going to college, but had no idea why.

During Chuck's first week of college at East Central University in Ada, Oklahoma, he went to a friend's apartment and noticed an acoustic guitar leaning in the corner. He picked it up and could not put it down. Chuck immediately began writing songs and worked to form a country band that would play in the local honky-tonks.

Having played in and around Ada for two years, Chuck transferred to Belmont University to see what Nashville was all about. It quickly became apparent to him that Nashville was about one thing: songwriting. A constant fixture at Douglas Corner and The Bluebird Cafe, Chuck loved seeing the faces and hearing the voices behind the songs he'd played with his band in Oklahoma.

In September 2004, Chuck signed his first publishing deal with Blacktop Music Group. Since that time he has carved out an identity as a diverse and prolific songwriter. From honky tonk standards, to rock and roll, to songs stamped with his self-described "twisted" sense of humor, you never know quite what you're going to hear when Chuck Floyd starts playing.

Chuck has had cuts on Equity Recording Group Carolina Rain as well as multiple independent cuts and songs used in t.v. and film. He recently released his first full length album, called "Tonight An Angel Fell." His first single, "I'm Not That Drunk Yet" can currently be heard on radio stations throughout Texas and Oklahoma. When he is not writing, Chuck tours extensively with his band, The Hired Hands.
