Chuck Wicks
Guest Artist
Though Chuck Wicks began taking the country format by storm with his hit debut single, "Stealing Cinderella," Wicks spent several years paying his dues by parking cars and writing songs. He developed his craft, apprenticing with some of the top songwriters on Music Row.
Growing up on his family's farm in Smyrna, Delaware, Wicks immersed himself in a variety of music from traditional country to R&B and cites a diverse array of influences. He moved south to attend Florida Southern College and play baseball, but it was during his senior year that the desire to play music began eclipsing his athletic aspirations.
Perseverance paid off and Wicks landed a deal with RCA Records and began working on his album with producers Monty Powell and Dann Huff.
It may have taken a few years to get to this point, but Wicks wouldn't change a thing. "I'm a much better artist now," he says. "I wasn't ready before and now I am. I'm glad I parked cars for five years. It makes me appreciate everything that I've had to work for to get to this point."
