“I learned that no one was going to give me better advice than what I instinctively knew was right."
The Artist: Chris Eberlein is a singer and songwriter whose glittering voice and songs have been heard by millions through radio, TV features and live performances. A veteran of the festival and competition circuit by the time he reached his teens, he was originally pitched as a rising CCM star before he transitioned into the indie pop genre while attending Berklee College of Music. To date, he has released six albums and his songs has been downloaded over 300,000 times, amassed over 10 million listener impressions and can be heard on MTV shows, NPR and Sirius/XM Radio.
“Everybody has a right to like what they like, but I didn’t truly discover who I was until I was forced to create it for myself. I didn’t find out what my voice could really do until I experimented on my own. I didn’t know I had this music inside me until I was left to my own devices. Everything I am today, musically, really is because I followed the beat of my own drum.”
The Voice: It’s an extremely flexible, perfectly blended mixture of classical training and pop mannerisms in four octaves. It's pure as an Idahoan mountain stream with pop star sass. It's Broadway belting and Britney commercialism all wrapped into one.
