In 2014, Chantel was voted by the British Blues Awards as Guitarist of the Year for the second consecutive year. Winning five awards in the last three years (including Young Artist of the Year and Female Vocalist of the Year) in competition with highly regarded peers, is something to be extremely proud of. It was a refreshing change and a justifiable first in the history of the British Blues Awards that a female artist had been voted Guitarist of the Year.
Chantel was recently nominated again in the Guitarist of the Year category in 2015‘s British Blues Awards. Her latest album “Lose Control” was released in October 2015.
