About

Acclaimed guitarist and singer-songwriter Chantel McGregor has earned a reputation for her extraordinary musicianship, powerful live performances and distinctive sound, blending blues, rock and progressive influences.

A guitar prodigy from an early age, Chantel defied industry expectations when, at just fourteen, record labels told her that “girls don’t play guitar like that!” Undeterred, she went on to achieve a First Class Honours degree at Leeds College of Music, becoming the first student to achieve a 100% pass mark and winning the Musician of the Year award.

Her exceptional talent soon caught the attention of blues-rock legend Joe Bonamassa, who invited her to perform during his UK tours. Her acclaimed albums Like No Other and Lose Control established her as a formidable guitarist and songwriter, with one critic describing her extraordinary playing as “channelling the ghost of Hendrix”.

Her latest album, The Healing, takes her music in an exciting new direction, embracing darker, heavier rock and progressive influences alongside deeply personal songwriting. Exploring themes of love, loss and resilience, it showcases another dimension to her remarkable talent.

With soaring vocals, breathtaking guitar playing and an electrifying stage presence, Chantel continues to captivate audiences across the UK.
