Meet Chase Wooten | Music Producer & DJ

We had the good fortune of connecting with Chase Wooten and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Chase, is there something you believe many others might not?
I’m not sure if this is considered “conventional,” but I often hear people say to stay away from situations that make you uncomfortable. I’m not talking about anything dangerous—more so things like social events or new environments.

I used to be a pretty anti-social person. I’d steer clear of large crowds, tell myself I was just an anxious person, and turn down opportunities out of fear. There was a lot of self-sabotage during that time.

Many people in a similar mindset believe it’s best to avoid discomfort altogether—to retreat deeper into their comfort zone because, well, it feels safer, right?

But for a lot of people, that comfort zone becomes a trap. It doesn’t protect you—it isolates you. The anxiety doesn’t go away; it just finds new things to latch onto. But what if, instead, you leaned into those uncomfortable moments? What if you allowed yourself to face the discomfort and learn to navigate it?

In my experience, choosing discomfort—within reason—has helped me grow the most. I’ve learned to process my anxiety rather than be controlled by it. And with time, I’ve started to feel safe in the spaces that once felt overwhelming. I’ve met people I never would have met, developed new skills, and unlocked new mindsets. It all compounds, and it all starts with choosing growth over comfort.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I create music under the name WYRM, an experimental bass project rooted in emotion, intention, and self-evolution. My sound blends organic textures, deep low-end, and immersive storytelling—something that sits somewhere between introspective and otherworldly. I’m drawn to the spaces where music becomes a portal—where you don’t just listen, you feel.

What sets my art apart is the purpose behind it. I’m not just here to make cool sounds (though I love that part)—I’m building something that can uplift others, challenge norms, and eventually fund good causes. My goal is to turn WYRM into a sustainable ecosystem of music, events, and merch that gives back to the community and supports charity. It’s bigger than me—it’s about creating impact through art.

Getting here hasn’t been easy. I’ve faced a lot of internal roadblocks: self-doubt, anxiety, the temptation to stay comfortable instead of push forward. For a while, I self-sabotaged without even realizing it. But through trial, error, and relentless curiosity, I’ve taught myself not just production and performance, but how to reshape my mindset. Every small win—whether it’s finishing a track, getting a message from a listener, or playing a new venue—has been a building block in reclaiming my potential.

If there’s one thing I want the world to know, it’s that you don’t have to wait until you’re “ready” to go after what you want. Start where you are, even if it’s messy. Keep learning, stay intentional, and don’t be afraid to take up space.

This journey is ongoing, and I’m just getting started—but I’m proud of how far it’s come. WYRM is more than a project. It’s a story of transformation, and I’m honored to share it through sound.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend was visiting Denver for a week, I’d want to give them the full experience—music, nature, food, and community.

We’d hit some of my favorite music venues in the city. Local clubs like The Black Box, The Church Nightclub, and Larimer Lounge are staples in the scene. The talent that comes through these venues every week is insane—everything from underground experimental bass to high-energy house sets. If the timing’s right, we’d catch a show at Red Rocks or Mission Ballroom—nothing really compares to live music at those places, especially under the Colorado sky.

Outside the nightlife, I’ve gotten really into bouldering, which I’d introduce them to at one of the local climbing gyms like Movement or Earth Treks. It’s such a fun way to challenge yourself and switch up your routine. Plus, we’d take advantage of Colorado’s easy access to nature with some hiking—maybe Chautauqua Park, St. Mary’s Glacier, or even just a mellow trail around Golden.

Overall, I think what makes Denver so special is the blend of creativity and adventure—you can experience a wild show one night and be in the mountains the next morning. That’s the balance I’d want to show them.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
It always amazes me how strong of a support system I’ve had throughout my journey. These are the people who have inspired me, pushed me forward, motivated me, and made me truly believe that everything I envision for myself is possible.

Huge thank you to my parents, my sister Lexi, my incredibly talented and beautiful girlfriend Dana, and the friends who’ve stuck by me for years—whether in person or online.

There are so many more people I could mention, and this list could easily go on forever. But to everyone who’s played a part in my story so far: thank you. Your love, support, and belief mean everything.
