Chord Overstreet

Chord Overstreet is an American singer-songwriter and actor, born in 1989 in Nashville, Tennessee, a city that put him around country and roots music early on even as his own output leans toward pop and rock. He first reached a wide audience playing Sam Evans on the Fox musical series Glee, which put his voice in front of a mainstream television audience years before he pursued a solo recording career in earnest.

His 2016 debut single, «Hold On», became a breakout pop hit, built on the kind of anthemic, radio-friendly songwriting that has defined much of his solo work since — warm, mid-tempo, hook-driven tracks that sit comfortably between pop and soft rock. He has continued to release music steadily, balancing his recording career with acting roles on other television shows.

Overstreet has also recorded under the name OVERSTREET, a separate outlet for material distinct from his mainline solo catalog. Across both projects, his music tends toward accessible, emotionally direct pop songwriting, and his path from television actor to recording artist has remained a defining thread of his public career.
