Chazelle was raised in Princeton, New Jersey, where, although a Catholic, he attended a Hebrew school for four years due to his parents' dissatisfaction with his religious education at a church Sunday school.

Chazelle has a sister, Anna Chazelle,{{cite web |title=Princeton's Damien Chazelle is living in 'La La Land' |date=January 24, 2017 |url=https://centraljersey.com/2017/01/24/princetons-damien-chazelle-is-living-in-la-la-land/ |access-date=24 January 2017}} who is an actress. Their English-born maternal grandfather, John Martin, is the son of stage actress Eileen Earle.

Filmmaking was Chazelle's first love, but he subsequently wanted to be a musician and struggled to make it as a jazz drummer at Princeton High School. He has said that he had an intense music teacher in the Princeton High School Studio Band, who was the inspiration for the character of Terence Fletcher (J. K. Simmons) in Chazelle's breakout film Whiplash. Unlike the film's protagonist Andrew Neiman (Miles Teller), Chazelle stated that he knew instinctively that he never had the talent to be a great drummer and after high school, pursued filmmaking again.{{cite web|last1=Myers|first1=Scott|title=Damien Chazelle interview|url=http://gointothestory.blcklst.com/2014/10/interview-video-damien-chazelle-whiplash.html|publisher=The Black List|date=October 12, 2014}} He studied filmmaking in the Visual and Environmental Studies department at Harvard University and graduated in 2007.{{cite web|last=Sweeney|first=Sarah|title=A movie as a mirror|work=Harvard Gazette|date=May 14, 2015|url=http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2015/05/a-movie-as-a-mirror/}}{{cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-et-mn-ca-damien-chazelle-20150215-story.html#page=2|title=Damien Chazelle's wild, crazy ride to the Oscars with 'Whiplash'|work=Los Angeles Times|last=Rottenberg|first=Josh|date=February 13, 2015|access-date=July 8, 2015}}

After graduation, Chazelle moved to Los Angeles with the ultimate goal of attracting interest to produce his musical romantic drama La La Land.{{cite news|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/la-la-land-unrealistic-hollywood-dream-critical-acclaim-942793|title=How 'La La Land' Went From First-Screening Stumbles to Hollywood Ending|last=Ford|first=Rebecca|work=The Hollywood Reporter|date=November 3, 2016|access-date=January 25, 2018}} He worked as a freelance writer in Hollywood; among his writing credits are The Last Exorcism Part II (2013) and Grand Piano (2013). He was also brought in by J. J. Abrams' Bad Robot to re-write a draft of 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) with the intention of also directing, but Chazelle ultimately chose to direct Whiplash instead.{{cite web|last1=Rome|first1=Emily|title='WATCH: J.J.

Chazelle initially described Whiplash as a writing reaction to being stuck on another script: "I just thought, that's not working, let me put it away and write this thing about being a jazz drummer in high school." He stated he initially did not want to show the script around, as it felt too personal, and "I put it in a drawer". Although nobody was initially interested in producing the film,{{cite web|last1=Stern|first1=Marlow|title='Whiplash' Is Sundance's Hottest Film, A Music-Themed Drama Starring Miles Teller and J.K.

The project was eventually picked up by Right of Way Films and Blumhouse Productions, who suggested that Chazelle turn a portion of his script into a short film as proof-of-concept. The 18-minute short was accepted at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, where it was well-received;{{cite magazine|last=Bahr|first=Lindsey|title='Whiplash': Sundance-winning short to become full-length feature – BREAKING|url=http://insidemovies.ew.com/2013/05/14/whiplash-movie/|magazine=Entertainment Weekly|publisher=CNN|access-date=January 19, 2014|date=May 14, 2013|archive-date=February 26, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140226090952/http://insidemovies.ew.com/2013/05/14/whiplash-movie/|url-status=dead}} financing was then raised for the feature film, and, in 2014, it was released to a positive critical reaction.{{cite news|title='Metacritic Reviews of "Whiplash"|url=https://www.metacritic.com/movie/whiplash/critic-reviews}} Whiplash received numerous awards on the festival circuit{{cite web|last=Zeitchik|first=Steven|title=Sundance 2014 winners: 'Whiplash' wins big|url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/moviesnow/la-et-mn-sundance-film-festival-awards-winners,0,1434690.story|work=Los Angeles Times|access-date=January 27, 2014|author2=Mark Olsen |date=January 25, 2014}}{{cite web|last=Richford|first=Rhonda|title='Whiplash' Takes Top Prize in Deauville|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/whiplash-takes-top-prize-deauville-732645|work=The Hollywood Reporter|date=September 13, 2014|access-date=September 13, 2014}} and earned five Oscar nominations, including Best Adapted Screenplay for Chazelle, winning three.{{cite web|url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/news/1932545/2015_oscar_nominations/|title=2015 Oscar Nominations|publisher=Rotten Tomatoes|access-date=January 15, 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150119223824/http://www.rottentomatoes.com/news/1932545/2015_oscar_nominations|archive-date=January 19, 2015}} Thanks to the success of Whiplash, Chazelle was able to attract financiers for his musical romantic drama La La Land.
