Colt Chambers, only 19 years old, has had a lifetime of experience in show business. Colt had a desire for singing and entertaining at only five years old, and he has held onto that desire up to this day! Colt started performing in his school choir and singing in church. At an older age (10) Colt began performing in the Harris Arts Center’s, the local community theatre, productions. He appeared in numerous of their productions including; The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, Babes In Toyland, and Clara’s Christmas Dreams. Once starting middle school, Colt had the opportunity to participate in the school productions including; The Music Man, Once Upon A Mattress, and Seussical. When starting high school, Colt attended the Nashville (High) School of the Arts, with a specialization in Musical Theatre and Vocal Expression, in Nashville, Tenn, and participated in several productions while there.
While living in Nashville, Colt’s music career really kicked off. He was honored with the opportunity to perform at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center (TPAC). Since, he has performed at fairs, festivals, and private events across the country.

In 2012, Colt was honored with the opportunity to head the East Coast Country & Gospel Music Association, a non-profit, as the CEO/President. Upon taking over the ECCGMA, Colt acquired a larger staff and also a larger vision. He decided to take the organization international and multi-genre. That is when the International Music and Entertainment Association, Inc., was born. Colt continues to serve as the CEO/President of the International Music and Entertainment Association, Inc. Due to this position and success, Colt was honored at the 2012 CMA (Country Music Association) Festival (in Nashville, TN) with the 2012 NuCountry Colt Chambers Award of Excellence – which will be presented each year by NuCountry in Colt’s honor.
