WHAT IT IS: Writing songs since high school, Missouri native Chris Bandi began trekking to Nashville during his college days at Ole Miss to hone his craft playing small clubs. After graduating, the singer/songwriter moved to Music City, where Music Row took notice of his passion for storytelling and multi-genre tinged vocals. Following a pub deal with BMG and a label deal with RECORDS in 2019, his debut single “Man Enough” is posing Bandi for his breakthrough in country music.
