In our current pop culture, sometimes there are artists that seem to transcend the over-produced reality competition package and come out with their true voice intact. Chris Rene is one of those artists. There is no doubt Chris has an incredible story, and was unbelievably good during the first season of X Factor, but he is so much more than that. His raw, natural talent doesn't need bright lights or the perfect song...he sounds good singing everything.

I was so excited to meet Chris and get the chance to dig a little deeper with him. Plus, I was extra excited when he brought me a copy of his debut EP, I'm Right Here (he even signed it for me...weeee!!!).

Check out my interview with Chris and stay tuned because next week I have an acoustic performance from him that will blow your mind!
