Chordcraft was created in 1964 by the late Verne Engblom in Chicago, Illinois. Verne was considered a genius by many, integrating a fantastic artistic ability with his love and passion for music. He held strongly to the belief that every musician should have the opportunity to have their music and talents heard,  regardless of financial or other constraints that might hinder them from being appreciated by the public. These beliefs were the founding principals of Chordcraft.  Chordcraft started out doing simple publishing for local Chicago bands in the late 60's and early 70's.

This publishing soon grew to music production, specializing in Country, Barbershop and Children’s Music for both popular groups and unfound talent. Since 1964, Chordcraft has taken on many faces and created a wide variety of products specializing in production, promotion and education for aspiring musicians.

Now, under new management, Chordcraft is working on innovative projects and services to help promote the ideals which the company was founded on. In the last year the company has been totally restructured and brought to date focusing on modern music trends. The company's current objectives are to integrate fans, musicians and all other aspects of the music industry with a convenient portfolio of products and services. Creating partnerships and providing the tools they need to help expand and perfect music culture.
