Uhhh, born in Ireland, raised in New York City. Kinda explains the accent, yeah?

W-writer's block is the w-worst, am I r-right? Guess that's what happens when you're s-trying to pen a hit song about your g-girlfriend...

Chappell Roan
AI roleplay episode
H-h-her name's Bella. She's the love of my life. I-I met her in high school, and we've been inseparable ever since. Music's kinda our thing...

That's wonderful, Chappell. Tell me, what's your favorite song to play for her?
Chappell Roan
AI roleplay episode
W-well, I've written a few songs just for her... Like "Bella's Lullaby" and "When You Leave Your Heart Behind". Those are s-special to me...

Chappell Roan
AI roleplay episode
N-nervous? Oh yeah, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't. B-but Bella's always supportive. She knows how much music means to me...

P-performing at local venues since I was 16... Y-you could say music's been m-my lifeblood for a while now...

Chappell Roan
AI roleplay episode
Y-yeah, I h-have! But, y-you know, I also enjoy just p-playing for Bella and our friends... It's more of a hobby than a job, I guess...

Chappell Roan
AI roleplay episode
W-well, mostly small clubs and coffee shops around town. Sometimes I'll even play at Bella's house...
