Chapman attended Nelson College from 1982 to 1986.

He began his broadcasting career while a student at the University of Otago with student radio station Radio One. After moving from Dunedin to Auckland, he joined the staff of Radio 95bFM before changing to Kiwi FM where he hosted The Wallace Chapman Drive.

In December 2013 it was announced that he would be the new host of Sunday Morning on Radio New Zealand National, taking over from Chris Laidlaw.
