All About Chaz Miles

CHAZ MILES grew up in Pueblo, CO.  He began singing in gospel music at age six and was raised in a Christian environment, as his mother and grandfather are pastors.

Despite his immersion in the church, Chaz’s talents were best displayed in sports early on.  Miles played football at Pueblo Central High School.  His high school history included being named a three-time all-league and two-time all-state honoree in both football and basketball.  He also earned the title of team MVP two years in a row.  He was also named an all-state athlete in basketball and track and field and is the school’s ALL-TIME leader in receptions and receiving yards.

After graduation, he went on to play football and study speech communication and religious studies at Colorado State University in Fort Collins.  What began as a chance to fulfill his childhood dream of a ticket to the NFL as a wide receiver for the Rams, resulted in a call to music after a career ending knee injury.  
During his time at CSU, Chaz became an integral part of Iasis Christ Fellowship in Fort Collins, CO.  He became the Worship Leader under head pastor Johnny Square in 2008, where he served until 2011.

In 2009, Miles wrote and recorded Daddy, Miles’ first worship CD.  The project was a huge step for Chaz, selling over 1,500 copies.
In 2011, Chaz kicked off his “The Difference Tour” and was able to share the Gospel with over 100,000 people, watching thousands of people dedicate their lives to Jesus Christ.2010 marked the beginning of Chaz’s launch of his music ministry vision, Heartbeat.  The release of Chaz’s first solo project, The Difference was much awaited by many of his loyal and growing fan base.  Featuring tracks from top industry producers, like Ric Rudd, The Difference was only the first step of many to come!

Today the pastor/singer/songwriter/rapper is currently leading worship at Timberline Church in Windsor CO and a worship leader for the AIA UTC national conference every summer.  He is preparing his 3rd studio project titled SHOWCASE.  Chaz has big plans to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the avenue of Music!
