Guest Artist Bio

Chris Blue was destined to sing from his earliest moments in this world. Imagine little Chris, at two years old, standing in front of the television at his grandmother’s house, mesmerized by a VHS recording of The Canton Spirituals. All the cousins were outside playing in the yard, but all he could say was “Again! Again!”

This old soul toddler began performing at the age of three, fronted a family band by the age of four up through his teens, and performed with legendary gospel artists like Fred Hammond and Kirk Franklin in his youth. In 2017, Blue captured the hearts of listeners around the world on season 12 of NBC’s “The Voice,” where he was crowned that season’s winner.

But Chris would come to learn that destiny and the promise of a meteoric rise can’t begin to compare to knowing who you really are. Chris Blue’s debut album, Foundations: The Hymns of My Heart, is as natural as it is a spiritual place to start. “This is where my life, my story, my faith began. I really want people to know who I am, at my core, so why not start at the beginning?” “It’s hard to articulate how surreal it is to be surrounded by the most gifted musicians, singers, stage producers and vocal coaches,” Blue says of “The Voice” experience. “But what I walked away with is the knowledge that I am enough. Not from a place of arrogance, but finding a real place of peace and confidence in the gift God has given me. I’m just so grateful because I know what He’s given me is enough.”In every song, in every note, Blue says, Foundations: The Hymns of My Heart is not only his way of introducing people to who he is at his core, but also a reflection of his calling in life. “My mission in life is simple,” he says, “to be a light in dark places, a conduit that brings people together – a bridge builder – bringing all people and cultures together, because I believe we are still one nation under God”...“I want people to experience what God’s love feels like,” he says. “Because love answers all things, conquers all things and love will win in the end. That’s my story, and these songs take me back to that foundation.”

Chris and his wife, Stephanie, live in TN with their daughter Alina.
