Chad Marvin was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan to David and Grace Marvin. He
was a typical boy, active with his friends, his family's activities and playing drums.
He wrote his first song at the age of six. At the age of seven he made a decision to give
his life to Christ and after that, dreamed of becoming a writer.

Chad recorded his first demo "Do Your Will" in Grand Rapids, and did solo touring to
churches throughout the United States during his summers. While traveling he began
auditioning for several record companies in Nashville. His auditions were well received
as he began his new journey into the world of Contemporary Christian Music

His next demo "I'll Follow You" earned him a second trip to Nashville where he met
with record executives and music publishers from several more companies. After the
meetings, Chad came home with a greater understanding of the recording industry and
an even stronger commitment to pursue his hearts desire. Taking advice from those he
met with in Nashville he formed his own record label Samuel Records.

Chad attended college at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan,
majoring in vocal performance. While in school he worked for Peterson Lure
Productions, a small outdoor production company, writing theme songs for their
television shows which aired in Michigan and surrounding states. During that time Chad
also worked with worship bands throughout the mid-west while performing with his own
band "The Praise Connection".
