In 1990, he graduated with a B.S. in Advertising from East Tennessee State University in Johnson City Tennessee. He is also an alumnus of Lambda Chi Alpha International Fraternity. Chesney first started his music career playing tunes for tips at local places like Chuckie's Trading Post and Quarterback's. His first album was recorded in 1991 at Classic Recording Studio in Bristol, Va. A thousand copies were made and he sold them at his busking gigs and bought a new Martin guitar. After he graduated in 1991, with a degree in advertising, he headed to Nashville. There he performed every where he could including busking on Music Row at a place called HounDogs. He also did regular gigs at a joint called Turf. He went to see every music publisher in Nashville and in 1992 got a contract with BMI. His rise to stardom had started.
His first major hit was "Fall in Love," which reached the Country Top 10 in 1995. The follow-up, "All I Need to Know," also reached the Top 10, but follow-ups were not so successful.
However, in 1996, he scored the top 5 hit, "Me and You," and returned again with "When I Close My Eyes" in early 1997. He hit number one for the first time with "She's Got It All" in August 1997; the song spent three weeks atop Billboard Magazine's country singles chart.

While some of Chesney's music shows the obvious influence of John Mellencamp and Jimmy Buffett (a point critics are quick to note), he often performs several traditional country songs at his shows (particularly, music from George Jones). He won the Country Music Assocation��s Entertainer of the Year honor in 2004.
In January 2005, Chesney released the album Be As You Are: Songs from an Old Blue Chair, supporting the album with his "Somewhere in the Sun" tour and in November 2005, Chesney released his second album of the year The Road And The Radio.
