Donovan Chapman brings singer/songwriter experience with having four singles in the Top 60 Country Music Billboard Charts with his “House Like That”, peaking at forty-two. Donovan joined the United States Air Force at age 17 after graduating high school. The family’s legacy of service runs generational. His great-grandfather served in WW1, grandfather in WW2 and father served in Vietnam. He and his younger brother served in Afghanistan/Uzbekistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, and the Global War on Terrorism, in 2002 and 2003, respectively, Before his deployment in 2002, he served in Kuwait in 2000 in support of Operation Southern Watch. During his time of service, he suffered spinal, nerve, and TBI requiring multiple surgeries and reconstruction. He was told he would never sing again. He taught himself to play the guitar with an injured arm and a hand while rehabilitating at the VA Hospital. After as a Security Policeman (1992-1997), Donovan cross-trained into Pararescue with one of the most rigorous training pipelines in the world. Pararescuemen, (PJs), are the most highly-trained Special Operations Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) operators in all environments, i.e., desert, jungle, ocean, mountain & arctic. After close to eleven years of service, Chapman was honorably discharged and pursued his Associate’s Degree from Tallahassee Community College and a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management from Flagler College. Donovan’s rehabilitation lasted several years as he dealt with PTSD. Donovan says, “I learned about my path in life through the struggle and surrender that gave me the strength I never had before. To surrender to God and ask for my true purpose to be fulfilled within my life. I accepted it was okay to feel as I did and to grow in my life. I now know what our men and women go through in their darkest times, and I am proud of every step I took that led me to the truth in life, which I call the “Secret." I realize that it is hard to let go of the past. that preys a victim mentality and I ask God to take full control of my life. I realized it had to be God's way and not mine, I now dedicate my life to helping veterans find the peace within their lives they deserve for their duty to our country and humankind and always service before self. I'm on a new mission, a mission that was designed by God long ago, and that is to understand compassion at a new level, and help others. God needed me to see the truth in life and to realize why we are truly here. I feel their struggle and pain, and now understand everyone's pain is real! We're a band of brothers and sisters, a sacred circle who chose to walk the path that not many will. I dedicate my life to all veterans and first responders as my Pararescue brothers did to me.” Creating songs for veterans is a healing process for physical and mental injuries from not only combat but also other life events. I listen to the veterans and first responders to help them cut the link or tie to the trauma of the past and reassign a new connection of love and acceptance of their past. Veterans and first responders must cope with their trauma from the past without the stigma of fear and darkness. By reassigning this new connection through song, they can see their past in a positive way that aligns with the foundational belief of why they do what they do! This enables all to move on and to be in the "now" state of mind and realize their future is unwritten with unlimited potential. The mindset changes to acceptance and new love for themselves affecting everyone and everything around them.” Born and raised in North Louisiana and having a Hawaiian heritage, Donovan links the spiritual connection to the land and sea. He stays rooted in nature through farming, hunting, fishing, and animal rescue. You can listen to Donovan’s Songs at https://www.donovanchapman.com/shop
