Professional musician Dennis Massengale discovered in 2009 that his skills on the stage could have a business application. Now he wants to take it to the next level, having built a fully-functioning recording studio inside his new music supply store.
Mr. Massengale, singer for Chattanooga band No Big Deal, acquired Joe Chambers Music World on Ringgold Road in July 2009 and renamed it ChattaMusic, with the goal of building an outlet “for musicians by musicians.”
“I actually had gone in to buy some strings from Joe and he said, ‘Dennis, why don’t you buy the store from me,'” Mr. Massengale said.
Thus propositioned, he told his wife, Karen, about the opportunity.
