Beginning with a foundation in 90's country and bluegrass, Chaffins received a scholarship singing classical music in college although soon to electric and upright bass, ultimately receiving a degree in jazz performance.
Moving to Nashville in 2010, he fast became an in-demand bassist and vocalist, touring with Rounder Records’ The Deadly Gentlemen and a stint with North Carolina traditional bluegrass band, Town Mountain.
