In a gravelly drawl, Tepper sings the praises of the infamous musician whose scandalous escapades are that of legend. He muses, “Tommy is a legend. I saw the crazy things he was doing and that’s what I always envisioned being a rockstar was. So, I wrote a song about one of the best drummers to have ever lived, Tommy Lee.”
“ROCKSTAR DREAMS LIKE TOMMY LEE”
Describing the track as “pure escapism” Chad explains, “I made this song for a 13-year-old me hanging out in my mom’s trailer and writing my favorite band names on blank t-shirts because I couldn’t afford to buy the actual merch. I’d listen to the radio, play air guitar and dream of one day being a rockstar.”

From the effortlessly grunge quality of his voice, to his an all or nothing mindset and flair for storytelling, he’s equipped with the tools he needs for a fruitful career. Already seeing streams in the millions – over 15 million in 2022 alone – his talents have been recognized by industry majors such as Apple 1, Spotify, Lyrical Lemonade, KROQ and MTV News among others.
