When I Change My Mind I Don't Mean It
STORYTELLING BLENDS WITH MODERN SONIC INFLUENCES
Chance Peña is a 25-year-old Texan songwriter and producer whose music combines traditional storytelling with modern sound influences. After being signed to a record label for the first time at the age of 17, he quickly gained notoriety for the use of his song "Up, Up & Away" in the movie Five Feet Apart. He was later nominated for a Grammy for co-writing John Legend's song "Conversations in the Dark". His debut album "Ever-Shifting, Continual Blossoming" from 2024 has reached over one billion streams on Spotify to date. He has collaborated with artists from various genres, from KYGO and Julia Michels on "Louder" to country rock singer Sam Barber for the duet "Better Than the Floor". Peña's work radiates an infectious warmth. His latest album "When I Change My Mind I Don't Mean It" is a collection of self-reflections written in a remote cabin in California. It's characterized by the immersive indie-folk that has made him one of the most captivating voices of recent years. "It's so cool to see the music connect with people live, and to hear them sing with me," he says. "I like to say that music is a cure for reality. Because no matter what you're going through - whether it's happy or sad, good or bad - you're not alone in it."
