Yes, but....as he never fails to share, he had someone much bigger than a record company helping him. That makes Chris's success that much sweeter, because we all have access to God, if we humbly seek Him.

[@OrangeySky11]

He seems to be a great guy but go see him while you can. He’s became famous overnight but he won’t be able to hold onto it, unless someone else writes his songs. He’s not a songwriter and unfortunately, they all sound alike. Not hating on him, truly, just being the voice of reason.
