Cris Gunther's journey begins in the small, coal-mining town of Beckley, West Virginia, located deep in the heart of the American Appalachian Mountains. Born on the cusp of Cancer-Leo into a family of European and Native American-Indian descendants, Cris first started singing in a Pentecostal Church Choir and winning local talent competitions at the tender age of nine. Growing up in a musical family, Gunther was influenced by his father who was a Professional Pop/Rock/Country Singer, and was introduced to the soulful world of R&b/Funk Music by his mother who was a very talented dancer. The need to entertain for Cris was so strong that by the age of eighteen, he fulfilled one of his life-long dreams and moved to New York City to begin his formal training as an actor. It didn't take long before he was discovered working in a restaurant by Internationally Renowned-Fashion-Photographer, Steven Meisel, and appeared on the pages of Italian Vogue in a story called, 'The Discreet Charm Of The Bourgeois.' This luck of fate gave Cris the confidence to reconnect to his musical heritage and build upon the foundation that had been laid in his formative years. Cris then used his life experiences as inspiration in developing his voice, sound and artistic vision. He dug deep into his heart & soul for the strength to realize his potential and move forward with the belief that nothing was impossible. And with the release of his debut album, "FALL INTO THE OPEN" in 2007, and his sophomore C.D. "VISIONS OF PARADISE" now complete, Cris Gunther is once again ready to share his hopes, dreams and passions with the world...
