Chayce Beckham American Idol Journey

“Family is everything!” to Chayce who also told local news that his mother and stepfather signed him up to audition for American Idol.

Sometime in 2020, Chayce drove his truck while intoxicated and ended up in a horrible accident that left him “on the side of the highway upside down.”

This brought a big turn-up to his life. He split up with his girlfriend and lost his house. So, he went to live with his parents (mom and stepdad). Some time into it and his parents pushed him to audition for the show.

“I think that they really just saw that I was kind of giving up on my dreams a little bit. So they strongly encouraged me to audition.”

He initially auditioned in Los Angeles singing “What Brings Life Also Kills” by Kolton Moore & The Clever Few. “You Should Probably Leave” by Chris Stapleton gave him the ticket to ‘Top 24 semifinalist.’

Later, he sang “Afterglow” by Ed Sheeran and “Drive” by Incubus, landed ‘Top 16’ place, and was judged safe for the ‘Top 12’ where he sang “(Everything I Do) I Do it For You” by Bryan Adams. Reaching the ‘Top 10,’ Chayce sang  “Baby Mine” by Betty Noyes. He then performed “Magic” by Coldplay and an original song called “Mama” during the ‘Top 7’ round.

Meanwhile, as the ‘Top 4’ contender, he sang  “Colder Weather” by Zac Brown Band. What’s more, he also sang “23” a reprise of “You Should Probably Leave” by Chris Stapleton and “Break My Heart Again” by FINNEAS in a duet.

Defeating Grace Kinstler & Willie Spence, Chayce Beckham took home the crown of American Idol. In the season finale, he sang “Blackbird” by The Beatles, “Fire Away” by Chris Stapleton, and “Afterglow” by Ed Sheeran.
