CHRIS CAGLE

Born in the humble town of De Ridder, LA, and raised amidst the vibrant energy of Houston, TX, Chris Cagle is far more than just a country music artist—he’s a storyteller whose melody echoes the heartbeat of America. In 1994, he made the bold move to Nashville, a city known as much for its grit as its glamour, to chase a dream that burned brighter than any stage light.

In Nashville, Chris wasn’t handed a silver platter. Instead, he rolled up his sleeves and worked a myriad of jobs—from nanny and waiter to prep chef and golf caddy. Every role was a stepping stone, fueling his hunger and honing his craft. Amid these challenging times, his unyielding persistence led to a publishing deal with Caliber Music. It wasn’t long before his song, “I Breathe In, I Breathe Out,” made waves when recorded by David Kersh—an early testament to the magic he was destined to create.

Chris’s breakthrough came in 2000 when he signed with Virgin Records. Embracing his identity as an artist, he co-wrote and co-produced his debut album, Play It Loud. This record wasn’t just a collection of songs; it was a declaration of his arrival, featuring chart-topping hits like “My Love Goes On & On,” the energetic “Laredo,” and the soaring anthem, “I Breathe In, I Breathe Out.” Each track resonated with fans who craved authentic country storytelling.

The momentum didn’t stop there. His self-titled sophomore project soared to the top, debuting at #1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart and earning Gold certification. With standout singles such as “What A Beautiful Day” and “Chicks Dig It,” Chris further cemented his reputation as a force in country music. Subsequent albums brought additional hits like “Miss Me Baby,” “What Kinda Gone,” “Got My Country On,” “Let There Be Cowgirls,” and “Country By The Grace Of God,” each song a vibrant thread woven into the fabric of his musical journey.

Honored with nominations including New Male Vocalist by the Academy of Country Music and crowned as CMT’s Breakthrough Artist of the Year in 2002, Chris Cagle shines brightly on every stage he graces. His performances are an electrifying blend of passion, perseverance, and heart—reminding us that every dream, no matter how distant, is within reach when pursued with relentless dedication.
