Born in Fort Worth, Texas, Austin Chase Rapp has spent most of his life moving from place to place through the Southwest and West Coast of the United States. Like any good gypsy, he began playing guitar at age thirteen and has been obsessed with music and film since age zero. After galavanting through the desert for years, Rapp attended The American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Hollywood, California and graduated as an accomplished Company member with several outstanding performances under his belt. Embodying a palpable vulnerability and simultaneous rebellious independence, Rapp conveys a unique mixture of hard and soft, light and shadow, a toughness with surprisingly tender underbelly. Ever in search of joyful freedom, this man's heart takes him down various avenues of expression and experience from traveling to foreign countries and riding motorcycles, to writing poetry in the woods, to shredding electric madness on the axe of the moment. If you need a transcendent Renaissance spirit, this is your man.
