ABC/Eric McCandless "American Idol" 2021 winner Chayce Beckham.
Chayce Beckham, the winner of the 2021 season of ABC’s “American Idol,” celebrated a huge personal accomplishment in July 2021, and he says he fulfilled a lifelong dream.
Beckham revealed on Instagram that he purchased a ProTeam 175 TXW Tournament Edition bass boat, something he has always wanted.
“Huge thanks to the good people at @bassproshops and @trackerboats for getting me set up with this ProTeam 175 TXW Tournament Edition bass boat,” he wrote. “If you know me you know I’m addicted to fishing so this is exactly what I needed to keep me busy/out of trouble when I’m not working or touring.”
He added, “I’ve wanted a boat like this for years but never thought it would be possible. This is a huge accomplishment for me as a fisherman, and just as a man in general. I’ve waited a long time for this, and I’m very grateful.”
Beckham Is Getting Back to Writing Music
After taking a bit of time off to move to Nashville, Beckham let fans know on June 27 that he was getting back to writing music every day.

He also said in the post that he never saw all the changes he’s experienced over the past year coming and that he was grateful for everyone who has helped him along the way.
“God bless you guys,” he continued. “Can’t lie it gets a bit lonely but my Old Johnny records have given me all the company I need, been inspiring me and getting back to the things I love about songwriting. I’m happy, healthy, and doing well.”
