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. On Tuesday, April 23, CHRIS will release his follow-up single “Keep Me Crazy.” While making his Los Angeles performance debut opening for U.K. pop star Olly Murs (1/29), 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!”
On Thursday, April 26, CHRIS will perform at New York City’s Highline Ballroom, a show presented by the #1 Top 40 radio station in the country, Z100. Limited tickets are still available at http://highlineballroom.com/show/2013/04/26/chris-wallace/. CHRIS will also perform at this year’s KISS Concert 2013 in Boston on May 18 alongside Ne-Yo, Demi Lovato, Cher Lloyd, Emblem3, Icona Pop, Jason Derulo, Olly Murs and more.

The dynamic performer’s debut album PUSH REWIND (ThinkSay Records) 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” as a web exclusive for the show. Check out the performance here: http://youtu.be/FUB7AmEAV7w. CHRIS also performed the track 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.
All this exposure helped push the official music video for “Remember When (Push Rewind)” over 1.7 million views on YouTube. Watch the video here: http://youtu.be/stKHUgIlNSA
