Chase Rice
Congratulations to Chase Rice on having his debut single, “Ready Set Roll” being certified Gold for sales of over 500,000 digital downloads!
“I remember the day we wrote ‘Ready Set Roll,’ the first time I ever wrote with Chris DeStefano and Rhett Akins, and I just had the feeling that, ‘man, this song could be huge,’” said Rice. “There’s just something about this song that works for me, whether people do or don’t like it — for me, there’s something special about it. And hopefully I was right about that, because now I’ve got my first Gold record.”
The song, released in October 2013, is just outside the top 20 on the charts and still climbing.
“That’s unbelievable to me, as an independent artist — we’ve got Columbia pushing [‘Ready Set Roll’] up the charts — but to do it the way we’ve done it, underground, without a label, having so many people tell me I was crazy for how I was doing it – to do it that way and now to have a Gold record is unbelievable,” Rice added. “And this song still has a lot of life left on it – hopefully we can go for Platinum now!”
