Songwriters In The Round with Dalby Biehl, Chapman Whitted, and Eli Lev
Dalby Biehl
A talented songwriter, singer, artist, and activist Dalby Biehl is no average 16-year-old. This highly gifted teenager has found her own little niche in composing music and lyrics that are relatable to both your youngest sibling to your favorite grandparent. Dalby speaks to her fans on many levels. Her creativity is inspiring, her vocabulary is impressive and her commitment to being herself makes her music a very 'unique' breath of fresh air.
Born in Newport Beach, California with stops in Pittsburgh and New Jersey along the way, Dalby now resides in Atlanta. She's learned to adapt and has translated her journey into melody and lyrics. Atlanta seems to be a great resting spot for this young artist as she accredits it's musicalscene, livliness, and culture as the cultivator for the exposure, new connections, and growth she's experienced over the past few years.
Harry Styles, Ed Shereen, and Taylor Swift are just a few of the artists that Dalby idolizes. She is passionate about the work she does and is irrefutably committed to her craft, the teenage prodigy makes it her goal to connect to people through her music. "If it's standing up for social justice, connecting to someone in a dark place, or just giving someone a song to scream in the car." Speaking her truth and standing up for others is in her blood. Her aunt, Amy Biehl, was a well-known anti-Apartheid activist who lost her life in South Africa in 1993. Dalby has combined these aspects of her life and rolled them into one.
"I let my emotions out through my writing. As an activist, I also like to speak my thoughts, but it's easier for me to sing about it."
CHAPMAN WHITTED
The son of a craftsman specializing in home restoration and a bespoke educator, Chapman Whitted grew up in a creative, tight-knit community in the eastern suburbs of Atlanta, GA, but his heart has always belonged to the lonely mountain. He now calls Lookout Mountain home place that inspired his first breakout single with over a million streams. Though he may often prefer a solo hike to find some fresh perspective from a hard-to-reach vista, you’re just as likely to find him collaborating with a fiddle or piano player he’s been friends with for years, rehearsing for a recording, performance, or just because it’s good for the soul. The eye for renewing an old staircase that he learned at his father’s side is the same eye Chapman brings to the human condition, where he’s drawn to the longing heart and crafts words and melody like risers, handrails, and newel posts to invite the listener to find where the longing can lead.
ELI LEV (Duo)
Rising singer-songwriter Eli Lev is making the world a smaller place, one song at a time.
Eli pens lyrics and melodies for everyday enlightenment—songs that resonate because they’re heartfelt, earthy, and offer wisdom he’s gained through lifelong travel and self-discovery.
He's just completed his Four Directions project: four EPs inspired by his time teaching on the Navajo Nation in Arizona.
