 in hopes of establishing a fan-base and furthering Chase's career in the music industry. For the first two years after the creation of the page, Wall administered everything from adding fans to uploading music. Eventually, Chase and Jeanette began working cooperatively, sending out the message about Coy's music.
In mid-2007, Coy completed his first CD, Dear Juliet - EP - which contained six songs - and began selling copies through the mail. Shortly after, upon its completion, Coy also began selling Goodbyes and Autumn Skies via mail order. Soon, his fan-base began to climb and today has reached over 100,000 on Myspace alone.
