Independent West Texas Metal Multi-Instrumentalist & Producer. "MAD CHAD™" Russell Surpasses 1.9 Million Project Interactions Via DFGS Productions
EntSun News/11098925
Lubbock independent metal artist "Mad Chad" Russell eclipses 1.9 million project interactions, redefining West Texas music performance metrics.
LUBBOCK, Texas - EntSun -- LUBBOCK, TX — Music registries confirmed a milestone for West Texas metal multi-instrumentalist, producer, and Berklee Songwriter Chad "MAD CHAD" Russell.
Via Don't Fret Guitar Studio (DFGS) Inc.™, Chad Michael Russell hit a digital footprint of 1,931,603 project interactions and 25,747 global Shazam discoveries. These numbers position Russell at the forefront of independent music production and technical metal within the 806 area code and Texas.
A Decentralized Powerhouse in the 806
While Lubbock music histories lean on country, MAD CHAD® has built a self-contained, globally distributed commercial music ecosystem.
Holding a Classical Guitar Degree from Texas Tech and a Master's from Berklee College of Music, Russell translates academic theory into high-velocity technical metal shred. Operating with studio autonomy, Russell tracks his own multi-guitar layers, bass, vocal harmonies, and technical drumming—using advanced ankle oscillation to sustain 32nd-note blast beats as a solo rhythm section.

Bypassing labels to retain 100% independent ownership of master rights, Russell's catalog is handled through specialized publishing wings: Chad's Rockin Publishing™ and Ammo Box Productions™. His audio sync beds are natively cleared and broadcast worldwide across premier networks, including:
The Chuck Alkazian & Pearl Sound Pipeline
A core pillar of Russell's footprint is his production alignment with Grammy-winning producer Chuck Alkazian [madchad.com]. Recording at Detroit's Pearl Sound Studios—famous for tracking Soundgarden, Pop Evil, and Eminem—Russell has tracked four independent records, including work with hard rock entity Texas 223™. He maintains a strict "one-take to two-take" tracking standard.

Artist Development at DFGS
Beyond his technical output and project Mutilate the Corpse™, Russell funnels industry access back into Lubbock [madchad.com]. As director of DFGS Inc.™, his talent incubator trains musicians on proficiency, theory, and legalities to launch them as registered ASCAP creators. Successes include Tatum Sheets (The Voice finalist), Mosaic MADI, Mary Elizabeth Fletcher (#42 on Music Row charts), and Barry Moffitt.
