Having roots in both pop and R&amp;B, Blake checked every box with this track and it is set to be an exceptional addition to his catalog.&nbsp;It is emotional yet captivating &#8211; you can feel his passion for his journey through the lyrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">After spending his life chasing his dream of playing in the NFL, he accomplished his goal, only to then face a severe injury, forever&nbsp;altering&nbsp;his career path. In the midst of pain and disappointment, he found healing through writing songs like &#8220;Chapters&#8221;: a resilient and inspirational reflection on the hope found in opened and closed doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">&#8220;Chapters&#8221; is a remarkable example of Blake&#8217;s extraordinary vocal talent.

After a devastating injury during his rookie season, though, his life in football came to a screeching halt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Proehl isn\u2019t stepping away from that part of his story just yet, but during the recovery period and unexpected downtime, he encountered another surprise: falling in love with music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">His musical journey began with his family, and a video of him sharing his singing voice with his grandmother for the first time unexpectedly went viral on TikTok, surprising even Proehl himself. The tens of millions of views say it all \u2014 people are ready to hear more from Blake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=YshmHPVPWK4&amp;offerid=944971.779&amp;subid=0&amp;type=4\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ad.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/show?id=YshmHPVPWK4&amp;bids=944971.779&amp;subid=0&amp;type=4&amp;gridnum=13\" alt=\"Free Jewelry Maker's Catalog of Hot Sellers\" style=\"width:289px;height:auto\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Now, Proehl says he\u2019s committed to making a recovery and continuing his time in the NFL, while being equally committed to his musical journey. His pop and r&amp;b sound has the natural likability of predecessors like Justin Bieber, and Proehl\u2019s humility and gentle spirit make it hard not to want to root for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">As an artist expanding his skill set with the piano, guitar, and co-writing sessions, Proehl isn\u2019t afraid of entering new territory. His smooth vocals are just the beginning \u2014 he is constantly gaining artistic inspiration from his interpersonal relationships as well as his own journey to physical recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">With each song and piece of content that Proehl creates, he hopes his music can act as a way to help people express themselves and avoid putting on any fronts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/link?id=YshmHPVPWK4&#038;offerid=1177654.4941440926315085935&#038;bids=1177654.4941440926315085935&#038;bids=1177654.4941440926315085935&#038;type=2&#038;murl=https%3a%2f%2fsneakerthrone.com%2fproducts%2fdrop-sides-pro%3fvariant%3d40926315085935&#038;\" ><IMG border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2114\/6025\/products\/Drop-Sides-Pro-Product-Six-Pack.jpg?v=1664124785\"><\/a><IMG border=\"0\" width=1 height=1 src=\"https:\/\/ad.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/show?id=YshmHPVPWK4&#038;offerid=1177654.4941440926315085935&#038;bids=1177654.4941440926315085935&#038;type=2&#038;subid=0\">\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Check out Blake Proehl&#8217;s Audition on American Idol (02\/18\/2024), and follow along his journey on Sundays on ABC, as he is headed to HOLLYWOOD!!<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Former NFL Player Blake Proehl Beautifully Sings His Way To An Idol Touchdown - American Idol 2024\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VM3uAAg6Qmc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.musicassent.com\/new-artist-alert\/\" title=\"\"><strong>New Artist Alert: Check out these upcoming artists from around the glob<\/strong>e\u2026<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>\u266b Like @<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MusicAssent\">Music_Assent<\/a> on FB and Instagram \u266b Submit your music, bio &amp; video(s) to musicassent@gmail.com to become the next Artist to be featured on <a href=\"https:\/\/musicassent.com\/new-artist-alert\/\" title=\"\">Music Assent<\/a> \u266b Interviews also available &#8211; Now Booking!!
