I write this like someone wandering into a warm, lived-in house and finding a family portrait on the mantel — layered, familiar, and full of small details that reveal themselves if you linger. Matthew Garrison Chapman, born September 25, 1987 in Nashville, is the most literal product of two storytellers: Amy Grant, whose songs were the soundtrack to Sunday mornings and kitchen dances across the 1980s and ’90s, and Gary Chapman, a songwriter and author whose voice has been both pastoral and practical. That lineage gives Matthew a built-in soundtrack and a playbook for public life — but his moves trace a different rhythm.
Roots and family architecture — dates, names, relationships
Family trees can look like neat spreadsheets, but living families live in the margins between the cells. Here are the bones:
| Relationship | Name | Year of birth / note |
|---|---|---|
| Mother | Amy Grant | 1960 (publicly known singer-songwriter) |
| Father | Gary Chapman | (songwriter, author) |
| Sister | Gloria “Millie” Chapman | 1989 |
| Sister | Sarah Cannon Chapman | 1992 |
| Half-sister | Corrina Grant Gill | 2001 (Amy Grant & Vince Gill) |
| Great-grandparent | Otis Paine Grant | (ancestral lineage on maternal side) |
If pop culture gives you a sense of place — think of Matthew arriving into adulthood around the time streaming upended how we listen, while he chose entrepreneurship over chasing the family’s radio airwaves. He’s the sort of figure who could have been a character in a small, sun-lit indie film: raised among playlists and hymnals, choosing to build something green and technical rather than chase stage lights.
Career in numbers and milestones
Numbers give the narrative a spine. Matthew’s public career arc centers on his work in the hemp/CBD industry — an industry where the language is equal parts science and sunlight.
| Year | Milestone |
|---|---|
| ~2016 | Co-founded LabCanna (Nashville) — early involvement reported |
| 2016–2020s | Served in leadership roles (President / CTO listed in public profiles) |
| Ongoing | Public appearances and social posts tie him to the company’s product and educational efforts |
I like to picture the LabCanna timeline as a set of nested quiet revolutions: converting agricultural know-how and lab science into consumer products, learning regulatory dance steps state by state, and doing it while the Chapman-Grant family watched from the front row — the kind of supportive, gently proud applause you give when someone you love takes a smart risk.
Personality and public voice — a cinematic snapshot
If you asked me to paint Matthew in a single image — no hard facts, just vibe — I’d show you a late-afternoon shot of a greenhouse window: dust motes in a tilted beam of sun, hands rolling up sleeves, a laptop open to a spreadsheet, and a playlist that jumps from a classic Amy Grant track to a modern experimental producer. That juxtaposition — old songs, new science — is what makes his story cinematic.
He’s not a megastar heir who trades on headlines; he’s the entrepreneur who benefits from a recognizable family while carving his own lane. He shows up in local business features, social media posts, and the kind of community stories that are less about glamour and more about grit: scaling an early start-up, navigating compliance, and putting effort into product quality and education.
Public visibility, social mentions, and the rumor mill
Every public person lives with a small constellation of social mentions: family profiles, local press, and the occasional repost. Matthew’s public footprint is modestly visible — business coverage, family mentions, and a social presence that complements rather than dominates. There’s no sustained celebrity gossip storm in the record; instead, there are the steady pulses of a person building a business and the family milestones that come into public view because Amy Grant and Gary Chapman are known quantities.
What remains private — the sensible blanks
Two practical facts anchor the narrative: (1) detailed financial figures for his personal net worth are not publicly disclosed; (2) private relationships beyond immediate family are not part of the public record. Those blanks are deliberate — and sensible — in a world that confuses access with entitlement.
