Chris Cline (CMT’s "Can You Duet")

Bio:

Many know by the time they hit adolescence if the music thing is what they want to pursue, but not this one. “All I could think about in high school and early college was playing professional baseball,” says Chris. A major shoulder injury demolished every aspiration of doing what he had worked for years to achieve. But, it was after this life changing event that Chris’ true calling became evident. Chris Cline brings to life the stories and emotions of the tumultuous years of his life. With a voice of purity, passion and soulfulness, Chris Cline weaves tales of love, loss, temptation, redemption and finding hope when all the odds are stacked against you. “My heart has been to write songs that were completely honest and sing them with the emotion I was feeling when I wrote them, so that whoever listens to my music is brought as close to my experiences and life as possible.” Chris taught himself to play piano at the age of twenty and by the age of twenty-two, he could play anything he heard on the radio. As a young artist he has accomplished way more than he could have imagined. “It’s really cool to see how God used all that disappointment, pain, and anger to direct me towards a new path that has been absolutely constructive in developing my character and perseverance.” “My hope is to reveal all sides of the man. It’s a multi-faceted thing trying to be the provider, hero, lover, contributor in today’s society… I want to reflect all of this life through the music.” Reflective, redemptive, passionate and etched with undeniable soul, Chris Cline is an imaginative and heartfelt artist that announces the arrival of the next triple threat in music. Chris was a recent finalist on the first duet show produced by the producers of American Idol called "Can You Duet."
