Chris Byrd

“It’s always the right time to praise the Lord!” That’s the life-governing philosophy of recording artist Chris Byrd. With a music ministry background dating back to piano and organ church debut at age 5, Chris knows the power of praise…and has learned how to praise the Lord in all situations.

It has been a long road to Chris’ current standing in the Gospel industry, which includes top ten hits, national radio airplay and full tour itinerary. Chris married his wife Bridgette when he was 17. Young and struggling, Chris learned to depend on the Lord. He is quick to give the Lord credit for a Godly wife and divine protection. Because of these factors, his calling is entwined with a deep desire to help people. “The Lord has done so much for me, that I want to share with others.”

His method of ‘sharing’ was initially learned by watching his musical brothers, one of who was a songwriter and choir leader.

Chris has had the opportunity to travel so many places, and meet so many people, such as John P. Kee, whom he travelled with and worked as music director for approximately two years, and currently serves as music director for the Rance Allen Group. Working and travelling with Kee and Allen, has taught him a lot about the music business and production. Chris has been growing strong in the area of production and has to his credit, his first debut release, ‘Attitude of Praise’. Five Chris Byrd & True Victory releases titled: ‘Glory, Glory, Hallelujah’; ‘Feel Him Movin’’; ‘Shower Down’; ‘Chris Byrd & True Victory “LIVE”’ and ‘Next Level’ – and the newest release from Chris Byrd’s collection of: ‘Songs In the Key Of Love (Vol.I)’ - “Between The Sheets”, which is the debut project from Chris Byrd’s newly founded record label “Minstrel House Music”. Chris has also produced other artists such as Tressa Boles, Cornell Burton, Jr. & The HolyGhost Posse, “Salathiel” saxophonist, Nikki De’ & The Browns, and also Dr. Pat McKinstry presents Chris Byrd & Davidic Praise, produced with Keith Dobbins & RMC titled “Fill Me”, produced with Pastor Rev.
