01 · THE STORY

The long way to the front of the room.

Chase Loren Nelson Webb

Producer, songwriter, U.S. Navy veteran, creative entrepreneur. The path was never linear — it was earned in studios, on a flight deck, and everywhere in between.

CH. 01

Dayton Roots

Raised on a DJ's hands.

Born in Dayton, Ohio, into music from the start. His father worked as a DJ, so Chase learned mixing and beatmaking as a kid. By 11 he was producing his own songs and writing his own lyrics — a head start most artists never get.

CH. 02

Rising Talent

On stage before he could legally drink.

He sharpened the craft in studios and local venues through his teens. By 19 he had already performed alongside established acts like Asher Roth and Chanel West Coast — early proof that the talent was real, and the appetite bigger.

CH. 03

Loss & Service

Grief, then a uniform.

He carried real loss early — his brother passed when Chase was a teenager, and he lost friends both before and during his service. That weight shaped him, and the search for discipline and purpose led him to enlist in the U.S. Navy. He served honorably as an Aviation Ordnanceman aboard the USS Iwo Jima (LHD-7) — standing armed watch, assembling and maintaining missiles, and leading bomb assembly teams. He earned leadership and trust through composure under pressure.

CH. 04

Music Through It

Beats from the corners of a warship.

Service never killed the music. He built makeshift recording rigs on the ship and made beats from remote corners of the vessel between duties. Still on active duty, he earned acceptance to Berklee College of Music — balancing naval responsibilities with remote coursework, then finishing a B.P.S. in Electronic Music Production & Sound Design and a Master of Music in Music Production. That resourcefulness never left: he turns closets into foam-lined recording booths, and every place he lives has a studio at the center of it.

CH. 05

Global Footprint

Everywhere the signal reaches.

With both real-world experience and the credentials to match, he built a presence across nearly every platform that matters — Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, SoundCloud, YouTube, Bandcamp, BeatStars — and engaged peers and fans across X, Instagram, Threads, LinkedIn, Clubhouse, Discord, and Twitch. Millions of streams, a global audience, and a brand that stays ahead of the culture.

Same kid from Dayton. Just a much longer résumé.

02 · FULL CIRCLE

From fearing sharks to building for them.

A kid from Dayton whose dad was terrified of sharks... joined the Navy... built a career around technology... and is now getting the opportunity to help a shark conservation organization use AI to scale its impact.

CH. 01

Dayton, Ohio

A kid from the Midwest whose dad was terrified of sharks. The ocean wasn't part of the plan.

CH. 02

U.S. Navy

Enlisted anyway. Aviation Ordnance aboard the USS Iwo Jima — years working the flight deck over open water.

CH. 03

Technology

Built a career around technology. AI infrastructure, multi-agent systems, autonomous pipelines — shipped from Honolulu.

CH. 04

Full Circle

Now helping a shark conservation organization use AI to scale its impact. The kid whose dad feared sharks works for them now.

That's a story people remember. 🦈🌊

04 · THE TRIFECTA

Entrepreneur's mind. Athlete's body. Artist's soul.

Three distinct disciplines, one operator. Each brings strengths the others can't — and combined, they compound.

Entrepreneurial Mindset

01

Entrepreneurial Mindset

Innovation and problem-solving. Spot opportunity, take calculated risk, build solutions. Think outside the box, stay proactive, stay resilient under adversity.

Athlete's Body

02

Athlete's Body

Physical strength and athleticism. Discipline, perseverance, and competitive drive — plus the mental edge: confidence up, stress down.

Artist's Soul

03

Artist's Soul

Creativity and emotional depth. Express, explore identity, connect with the world. Purpose, growth, and wellness through the work.

Improve in all three and you create a combination that leads to success, balance, and a life well-lived.

05 · THE NAME

What "PaperChase" means.

The name isn't about money. It's about the discipline the chase demands.

Academic & competitive rigor Professional and personal excellence
Enduring elite challenge Thriving under pressure, resilience
Self-transformation through adversity Empowered identity building
Ranking & hierarchy Strategic positioning & leadership
No easy answers Solutions borne from grit
A relentless pursuit of greatness — not for validation, but to build capability, confidence, and cultural impact.

06 · THE MANIFESTO

Never underestimate what it takes to join the upper echelon.

Obsessive mastery. Strategic networking. Ruthless prioritization. Uncompromising resilience. The chase costs — credentials get questioned, scrutiny doubles, and the toll is real. Pay it anyway. That's the price of the PaperChase.

Paperchasers never die.

07 · CONVERSATIONS

Conversations Built My World 🌍💸

I've always believed conversations are one of the most underrated forms of education. Every interaction is an opportunity to sharpen perspective, exchange ideas, challenge assumptions, and discover something new.

Over the years, I've immersed myself in conversations across music, technology, entrepreneurship, culture, media, wellness, and emerging industries. Those discussions have shaped not only my knowledge base, but the way I approach creativity, business, leadership, and community.

Music production became one of the foundational pillars of that journey. Through conversations with producers, engineers, artists, executives, and creators, I developed a deeper understanding of both the creative and operational sides of the industry — from sound design and audio engineering to royalties, publishing, DSP ecosystems, copyright infrastructure, monetization strategies, and long-term artist development.

One conversation about music can evolve into discussions around machine learning.

A branding conversation can turn into a debate about psychology, culture, economics, or human behavior.

A conversation about startups can become a conversation about philosophy, resilience, leadership, and the future of civilization itself.

That's the beauty of dialogue.

And Everything In Between

Founders • Executives • Artists • Creators • Influencers • Celebrities • Producers • Engineers • Developers • Operators • Builders • Visionaries

At the core of it all is curiosity.

The willingness to listen.

The willingness to evolve.

The willingness to build bridges between industries that traditionally never spoke to one another.

That's a huge part of what drives everything I build through PaperChase Labs and the broader PaperChaseWebb ecosystem — creating spaces where conversations become catalysts for innovation, collaboration, and opportunity.

The older I get, the more I realize that the right conversation can change your entire trajectory. And honestly… we're all just one great conversation away from the next breakthrough. 💸🌊

My role at PaperChaseWebb Inc.

Operating since 2013 · Incorporated 2025

I'm the founder and driving force behind a company that fuses human potential with cutting-edge technology to redefine the business, music, and tech industries. PaperChaseWebb Inc. channels wealth, hustle, and energy into every project — music and video production, AI-driven solutions, digital marketing, public relations, and talent showcasing.

Honed on the USS Iwo Jima juggling duty and beats, my work ethic fuels one goal: bridge theory and practice. Whether mentoring talent or forging global partnerships, I live by a simple belief — people matter more than profit. This is a movement, and it's still climbing.
