Who...me?


He goes by the name of Harvey Champagne but grew up Harvey Van Chapman. He was born and raised in Jacksonville, NC, uprooted to Boston, MA, uprooted again to Seattle, WA, and finally landed his home in New York City. He is a contributor to StreetWalkersNYC.com, a classically trained musician, published poet and songwriter, vocalist, stylist and author who just happens to run into some of the most extreme situations, both fun and better forgotten all in the same moments. At times, he often finds himself keeping control from losing control and letting loose his angry, silver-tongued alter ego Mr. Harvey Champagne. A name which he uses presently but was originally an old nickname given to him by his long time friends to describe the difference between his usual fabulous, loveable, humorous, and socially savvy side from his defensive, forward, foul-mouthed and short-tempered country bumpkin side.
