Kalen Chase Musmecci (born December 7, 1983), is an American singer, songwriter, and musician. Kalen is best known as the lead singer of American heavy metal band Vimic, who made their debut on SiriusXM in an interview with Joey Jordison on May 5, 2016. Prior to fronting Vimic, Kalen toured with American nu metal band Korn from 2006-2008. It was on tour with Korn in 2007 that Kalen befriended Joey Jordison. Kalen also performed on the 2007 MTV Unplugged (Korn album) release as a backup vocalist and multi-instrumentalist (donning a white rabbit mask).

Kalen Chase was born in Southern California and grew up in Washington state, before eventually returning to Los Angeles, where he currently resides and occasionally instructs at Musicians Institute. Kalen was born with albinism and has severe visual impairment.

After a career in metal and Vimic on indefinite hiatus, Kalen officially returned to his singer-songwriter roots in 2020. The change in genre stemmed largely from conversations with record producer Kato Khandwala, whom Kalen met while with Vimic. Prior to Kato's death in 2018 in a motorcycle accident, Kalen had worked closely with the producer on his original material and was encouraged to pursue it.

In March 2020, Kalen wrote, recorded, and released solo acoustic single When the Sun Comes Up amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

On June 26, 2020, Kalen released Good Things featuring Brian Viglione of The Dresden Dolls on drums.
