Hailing from Poplarville, Mississippi, Chapel Hart is a dynamic American country music vocal trio formed by sisters Danica Hart and Devynn Hart, with their cousin Trea Swindle. The group began performing in 2014 when Danica and Devynn Hart, along with Swindle, started singing together and honing their craft by busking on the streets of New Orleans, initially covering songs and later venturing into original compositions. Under the moniker Hyperphlyy, Danica Hart and Swindle commenced recording in 2016 and released the EP “Made for Me” that same year. The trio, now known as Chapel Hart, gained recognition with their album “Out the Mud” in 2019, where Devynn officially joined the lineup. Renamed after a church in their hometown, Chapel Hart’s musical prowess has taken them from local Louisiana festivals to international stages. In July 2022, they made waves as the fifth-place finishers on the seventeenth season of America’s Got Talent. While they didn’t win the appearance helped catapult them to stardom a they have been performing and touring ever since.
