"Modern avant-garde for the new millennium." AMG REVIEW: 13 by Earnest Woodall is a true character. He creates outrageous atmospheres from eclectic sound sources. 13 by Ernest Woodall is a collection of 13 compositions, each of which deals with or recognizes a different superstition. The pieces have just enough dissonance and just enough melody for balance. This is modern avant-garde for the new millennium. It will appeal to fans of Terry Riley, Pauline Oliveros, and Dmitri Shostakovich. - All Music Guide - Review by Jim Brenholts﻿

His music weaves minimalist production, layered vocals, and poetic lyricism into intimate soundscapes that have been described as being dreamlike.

With thousands of original songs released across streaming platforms, Chad has become a quiet force in the world of DIY music. Chad crafts tracks that explore grace, solitude, and purpose.

Outside of music, Chad is also a photographer and writer, currently based between South Carolina and Savannah, Georgia, where he is working on a long-form documentary photo project capturing life in everyday spaces. His Substack essays and other written works also reflect the themes of stillness, light, humanity, and his Christian faith.
