Native Texan, Chris Chitsey, is the only country music artist alive today that has charted #1 singles in 4 different decades. Chitsey made a name for himself on the competitive, Texas honky-tonk circuit, before graduating to success on a national level in the late 1990’s. His smooth evocative voice and energetic stage presence quickly established Chris as one of the latest Texas exports to achieve national acclaim.
Rooted in the smooth Texas country style, Chris began his music career, as a high schooler, on the stage of his family’s Bar-B-Q restaurant and entertainment venue in the heart of Austin, TX. Raised on a steady diet of George Strait, Alan Jackson, Randy Travis, Merle Haggard, Keith Whitley, Charlie Pride & Mel Tillis, Chitsey’s future had taken shape.
After becoming one of the main attractions in Central Texas throughout his college years, Chris inked his first record deal two years into his college career at Southwest Texas State University. His self-titled debut album had three songs hit the top spot, including “At A Time Like This”, “John Wayne Rides Again” and “With A Body Like That”, which held 18 weeks on the CMT and GAC Top 10 Countdown Shows. Chris completed his undergraduate degree and went on to earn a master’s degree, all while maintaining focus on his music career.
Chris’ journey in the country music business has been a true testament to his talent, persistence and dedication he brings to the table. His star power, world-class voice and charming personality have brought him the global acclaim that country music fans knew was coming since the beginning.
