Who is Chris LIVE? Chris LIVE is a complicated man but it aint hard to tell the story. He's got book smarts but he's got a Hooducation as well.

In an interview with an online magazine that covers up and coming talent Chris said about himself, "I keep trying to go right and be right, but I love a good time! The struggle continues between the nice guy in me but my devilish ways keep me sinning."

Chris doen't walk on one side of the fence or the other...he breaks the fences down and roams freely wherever there is something worth seeing.

Chris is a Community man who loves his community and reps his community. When he speaks, people listen cause he's a man with something worth listening too!

"I love the attention I get when Im dropping my rhymes and the crowd is giving me that love... and I love the ladies, cause the ladies love Chris too."

Chris is GA born; was raised in Seat Pleasent, MD; and resides in Washington, DC.
Why this name?
The name is Chris LIVE I think that sums it all up pretty well. When you see Chris perform you know you're going to get a live show.

Chris is my real government given name and if you've ever been to DC, most people know that it is well known for its live bands and performances (home to bands such as Chuck Brown, Junk Yard, Rare Essensce and so many more) and you will experience something that you can't get any other way. A live show with an energy that gets you so lifted you can't stop moving. To put it more simply, we get it CRUNK!
Do you play live?
Yes. Right now Chris will be appearing at different venues in the Washington DC Metro area. Check back frequently to find out where he will be performing or sign up for the mailing list to get updates about upcoming events.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I can reach the world now with the internet. I don't have to stay local I can think Global...ya dig!

I love the internet, I grew up in this world as a child of the 80's. I'm a big fan of the internet and being on it. It allows my audience to grow in ways I could never imagine, touch ears I wouldn't have reached and rock the world.

The Internet has started the Digital Revolution and its not being televised its streaming LIVE to a computer or MP3 player near you.

Now the little kid in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to the blokes and bumpers in Notting Hill Gate, London. Folks from as far up north as the T-Dot and Van City(Toronto and Vancouver) in Canada to Mexico City, Mexico and Brazil can listen to the truth of what Chris LIVE has to say..."Get the message."
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Hell Yeah! What till the see what Chris has to give them.
Band History:
Chris LIve is new to the game but I've been in the music since I was old enough to remember classic jams like "Rock the Bells" by LL and "Who's House" by RUN DMC.

I live, breath, sleep, eat, think, and dream of the Music but it is only recently that I have spread my arms and taken that leap to the next level of this music game and grown from being a follower to a trying to become a leader of the masses.
Your influences?
The greatest rapper and poet to blaze the mic was the late great TUPAC, but I am also inspired BY JAY-Z cause Sean Carter took the game to whole new level.

But of course I also have to show love to the party hip hop from the 80's and the 90's that got the parties jumping way back when. Folks like Heavy D, Young MC, De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest,Doug E Fresh & The whole Get Fresh Crew,
NWA, Dr. Dre,Poison Clan, 2 Live Crew, Spice 1, 2 Short, ScarFace & The Ghetto Boyz.

But also have to recognize for current innovators such as Outkast, Pastor Troy, and the ATL movement, the New York MC's and groups like Wu-Tang, lots of West Coast artist and all the Pioneers and innovators, there are just to many to name...as you can see I love the music.
Favorite spot?
Representing for the Nations Capitol! When I'm not performing you can find me down on the corners of Minnesota & Benning Ave or crushing the streets of DC in my Chevy.
Equipment used:
All I need is One Mic and someone to listen to what I got to say
Anything else...?
Chris is a Sagittarius

Sagittarians have a positive outlook on life, are full of enterprise, energy, versatility, adventurousness and eagerness to extend experience beyond the physically familiar.

They enjoy travelling and exploration, the more so because their minds are constantly open to new dimensions of thought. They are basically ambitious and optimistic, and continue to be so even when their hopes are dashed. Their strongly idealistic natures can also suffer many disappointments without being affected. They are honorable, honest, trustworthy, truthful, generous and sincere, with a passion for justice. They are usually on the side of the underdog in society they will fight for any cause they believe to be just, and are prepared to be rebellious. They balance loyalty with independence.

They have both profound and widely ranging minds, equipped with foresight and good judgement, and they can be witty conversationalists. They love to initiate new projects and have an urge to understand conceptions that are new to them. they think rapidly, are intuitive and often original, but are better at adapting than inventing and are at their best when working with colleagues of other types of character that compliment their own. They are strong-willed and good at organizing, a combination that gives them the ability to bring any project they undertake to a successful conclusion. Their generosity can be balanced by their extreme care at handling their resources.

That sums me up so lovely!
