Chris McDaniel, a country music singer originally from the Vero Beach / Fort Pierce Florida area, was born in 1975. Drawing inspiration from Elvis Presley growing up, he took the stage for the first time at the school talent show in 1983 at Lawnwood Elementary School. After graduating from Vero Beach Senior High, Chris pursued his passion for music, performing at various venues across Florida while working alongside his Uncle Art Durden, who led a band called The Art Durden Review. His father, who worked in the boating industry, instilled in him a sense of creativity and the drive to pursue his dreams. In the early 2000s, Chris collaborated with Eric Horner, known for his work with Lee Greenwood, leading to the production of his biggest recordings like "Imagine Me" and "I Keep Telling You Heart." Opening for Lee Greenwood in front of a crowd of 10,000 in 2003 marked a milestone in his career. Moving to Atlanta in 2005, Chris continued his musical journey, working with Lee Bogan in Nashville and sharing the stage with renowned artists like Ronnie McDowell and T Graham Brown. Over the years, Chris's dedication to his craft led to the recording of fan-favorite songs like "A Man Like Me" in 2017, produced by Stacy Hogan. His collaboration with Starvista Music in 2022 led to the release of two singles in March 2023, "Don't Give Up On Me Jesus" and "Give Em' Grace," followed by his first official gospel album in 2024, produced by Lee Bogan and released worldwide by Starvista. This album captures the essence of Chris's musical journey, showcasing his talent and heartfelt devotion to gospel music.
