From an early age, Christian George knew his place – and that’s center stage. After spending time at the top as a dancer and stylist to Hollywood elite, today George steps up as a truly commanding musical frontman continuing to drive his career forward. Lending his talent and drive to all aspects of his career, George writes, co-produces, performs, styles and directs his videos…He is in the driver’s seat of his career.
Currently climbing the charts and radio nationwide, George makes his solo debut with the single “Strangers,” a percolating, sultry shot of infectious R&B pop. Not one to take a backseat, as mentioned, George writes and co-produces each of his tracks off his debut album slated for release in 2009 on Chauncey Digital. Urban yet silky, ranging from seductive neo-ballads to driving dance floor-ready anthems, George’s first batch of songs signals the arrival of a fresh, new soulful powerhouse.
“I want people to know that with whatever I’ve done, I’ve done it with the best,” he shares. “As a dancer, as a stylist, as a solo artist, I’ve always worked towards this dream, and I’ve learned so much working with the best, when it comes to my own career I won’t settle for less”
The best has included Kanye West, Britney Spears, Sean “Puffy” Combs, Queen Latifah, and Will Smith – an impressive roster of professional company to say the least.
Yet the L.A.-based George has kept unique company since his childhood in Pittsburgh, PA. Born to an attorney father and housewife mother, the adolescent George broke away from his school-age peers and fell in with a more mature social circle. “My circle of friends from about age 13-18 were 30-, 40-, 50-year-old adults,” he recalls. “They treated me as an equal, which forced me to grow up pretty quick. These guys were as sharp as they come.”
So were George’s looks, which led to first modeling gigs during his teens. After graduating high school, the 18-year-old was drafted into walking the runway at a national model search. He ultimately won, and was subsequently wooed by a California-based talent agency.
Once arrived in Los Angeles, George wasted no time in finding his next challenge. He enrolled in a hip-hop dancing class. Immediately impressed with George, its teacher recommended that he come along for a Brandy music video audition the next day which led to a meeting with award-winning choreographer, Travis Payne, who ended up taking him under his wing. George continues to use his background in these fields to continue to be involved in the styling and dancing of his career
Many high-profile music videos, live tours, and industry award shows followed, including appearances on the Grammy Awards and American Music Awards. His impeccable sense of style and fashion led to a second career in the industry, helping to dress and style celebs like Kanye West. But through it all, George’s ultimate passion for singing and songwriting – and being the frontman – was what drove him.
Citing George Michael and Elvis Presley as major influences, George spent time refining his musical craft in the studio. His first single “Strangers” is something of an anti-love song, exalting the pleasures and excitement of one-night-stands. Also dipping his toes into acting, George has found time to shoot roles in several films. He appeared alongside John Leguizamo in 2007’s crime drama The Take, and is slated to star in an upcoming feature, Last Hurrah.
One thing’s for certain: George has a lot of hearts beating at accelerated speeds and riddled with potent pop bullets when he takes command of the mic and stage.
