Chris August

Chris August's latest song "7x70" comes from a deeply personal place in Chris' heart; one that involves hurt and forgiveness. The song recaps his upbringing filled with memories of growing up in a broken family with quarrelsome parents and the painful repercussions experienced by Chris and his siblings.

Reflecting on his past, Chris was reminded of Jesus' forgiveness, and how He tells you to forgive your brother "70 times 7" times. "It's one of the most difficult things I've had to do, but it was also one of the most freeing things," explains Chris. "With forgiveness comes healing."

Prior to 7x70, Chris debuted with his more universal single “Starry Night.” The song reflects on God's immense creation and brought Chris back the strongest love he had ever experienced, that of God. 

Aside from his deeply personal songs, Chris is very well known for his great sense of humor, evident in his infamous "Candy Wrap." The Dallas native has also worked outside of the Christian music spectrum; collaborating with artists such as Jessica Simpson, Brian McKnight and Ryan Cabrera.

Influenced by his general market peers John Mayer, Gavin DeGraw and even legendary performer Stevie Wonder, Chris candidly writes about faith, hope and love and merges his musings with a catchy pop/rock sound meant to draw in listeners from all walks of life.
