He auditioned in Denver, Colorado with the song “Letter” a cover of Memphis band The Box Tops (this group was headed by Alex Chilton later of Big Star fame). Chris later joined the group Absent Element and released the album “Uprooted” with them in 2005.Ī year later Chris was on American Idol. Chris formed several bands in high school and participated in two high school productions: “Peter Pan” and “The Wiz”.Ĭhris acted as lead singer and rhythm guitarist in his high school band Cadence and produced one album with the group in 1999 entitled “All Eyes on You”. When Chris was 16 years old he approached music in a more serious manner, focusing on his skills as a singer and seeking out instruction on the guitar.
