Singer, songwriter, pop star CHRIS WALLACE has garnered lots of recognition for his infectious and propulsive Top 25 hit “Remember When (Push Rewind),” putting CHRIS in an elite group of artists to land a Top 25 pop hit at Top 40 Radio with their debut single. His new radio single, “Keep Me Crazy” is on the same path, spinning at radio nationwide, quickly climbing and nearing the Top 40, currently at #47 on the national pop chart. While making his Los Angeles performance debut opening for U.K. pop star Olly Murs (1/29/13), CHRIS performed “Keep Me Crazy” to a zealous sold-out crowd at the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip. Watch the performance here: http://youtu.be/Qic9Wv7t5ZQ.
CHRIS wrote “Keep Me Crazy” about a past relationship which was a passionate rollercoaster ride, good one minute and bad the next. He’s since moved on from the crazy ex; however, she continues to keep him crazy by holding some of his belongings hostage. “I’d really like my stuff back,” says CHRIS. “She has some of my valuable recording equipment, not sure why she is keeping it…other than to drive me crazy! Watch, next she’ll ask for royalties from the song!”
“Keep Me Crazy” can be heard coast to coast with adds at over 40 pop stations including KREV in San Francisco, CA, KFRH in Las Vegas, NV, WHTI in Richmond, VA, KBFF in Portland, OR, WNCI in Columbus, OH, KMVA in Phoenix, AZ, WVHT in Norfolk, VA, WHKF in Harrisburg, PA, WSPK in Newburgh, NY, WPLW in Raleigh, NC, WLAN in Lancaster, PA, WAYV in Atlantic City, NJ and many more, with others coming on board daily.
WALLACE is quickly establishing himself as a powerful force in pop music. The dynamic performer’s debut album PUSH REWIND (ThinkSay Records/Caroline Distribution) was hailed “the best pop album you probably haven’t discovered yet” by Entertainment Weekly. Meanwhile, iTunes not only picked “Remember When (Push Rewind)” as one of the best singles of 2012, they also selected PUSH REWIND as the Breakthrough Pop Album of 2012 and one of the Best Albums of 2012. On the radio front, Los Angeles’ Top 40 station 102.7 KIIS FM followed New York’s Z100, by adding “Remember When (Push Rewind)” to their rotation.
The massive success of “Remember When (Push Rewind)” also earned CHRIS several national TV looks. When CHRIS was invited to perform “Remember When (Push Rewind)” on Jimmy Kimmel Live!” (1/22), he also delivered a rousing version of “Keep Me Crazy.” CHRIS also performed “Remember When (Push Rewind)” on “Live! with Kelly & Michael” (2/20), in addition to VH1’s “Big Morning Buzz Live” and the nationally syndicated “Daytime.” He also caught the attention of USA Today which ran an “On The Verge” piece at its website: http://msopr.com/files/usa_today_chris_wallace.pdf.
The buzz continues to build as CHRIS has surpassed 300,000 in total single sales and “Keep Me Crazy” is now the #2 biggest growing independent pop record. Kellogg’s has also taken notice and tapped CHRIS for one of their national brand campaigns. On July 17, he performed alongside Demi Lovato in Philadelphia as part of Pop Tart’s “Crazy Good Summer” free concert series.
