Chris Mann

Chris Mann has come a long way in a few short years. You might know him from NBC's The Voice, but that's only one chapter of the story.

In 2012, the world finally got the chance to meet Mann on his Faircraft/Republic Records debut, Roads, a bold reimagining of the classical-pop genre. The aptly-titled album represents the culmination of a long and challenging journey for this gifted and dedicated young artist, who’d been pushing forward against what had appeared to be overwhelming odds. Now, he's triumphed. The record hit No. 1 on Billboard's Heatseekers Chart and Top 5 on the Classical Chart. Meanwhile, he played to sold out crowds across the U.S. in support of the collection.

He followed up the album with his very first PBS concert DVD and CD, Chris Mann In Concert: A Mann For All Seasons and appeared on PBS’ National Memorial Day Concert. During that unforgettable concert, Chris performed on the West Lawn of the United States Capitol for an audience of over 300,000 and millions of TV viewers to honor American service men and women and their families.

Moreover, he's branching out even further. 2013 also saw him record a duet of "Always On My Mind" in Spanish with Mexican superstar, Paty Cantu. The collaboration was a musical match made in heaven taking the pair to Mexico City to perform the track for Paty’s live concert DVD to a sold-out crowd of 10,000 at the famed, Auditorio Nacional.

Fulfilling his Broadway dreams, Chris recently concluded his 2 year, critically acclaimed run as The Phantom in “The Phantom of the Opera” 25th Anniversary Tour being hailed as “then best phantom since Michael Crawford” with 700 incredible performances. Chris performed with the National Symphony for President Obama, at Christmas in Rockefeller Center and headlined his own symphony tour where his golden voice and hilarious stage stories dazzled audiences across the country. He has performed on TV shows including Ellen, The Today Show & The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and was an original member of The Warblers on the hit TV Show, Glee.
