about
Chris DeShield is a mild mannered man with a disarming sense of humor. Born to Liberian parents in a musically inclined family (his brother, Cyrus DeShield, sings with Metro City), Chris DeShield can play the piano and always knew he wanted to be a singer. This multitalented singer has penned songs for Jennifer Hudson and written with Mario. He has opened up for Snoop Dog, B2K, MC Lyte, and Jesse Powell, to name a few, and has even had a cameo as the boyfriend of the woman that played Eddie Murphy’s wife in the movie, ‘Dreamgirls‘. He won the 2006 Almost Famous Showcase in Atlanta and caught the attention of Fox News. He was performing at the Unifest in Washington D.C. when a woman high on drugs ran into the crowd with her car. The shock of the whole situation resulted in his writing a song, ‘Gift of Song’, to honor the victims. He is well traveled and has lived in Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana before coming to the U.S. and graduating from high school in North Carolina. He plans to invest in Africa and possibly open up a music school, and would like to start a clothing line called DeFrancis with the tag line, ‘Looking good is an understatement’. We like his ambition. Chris DeShield auditioned for BET’s 106 & Park and will be performing his number 1 song, ‘Blame it on the drink’.
