Chris Isaak

Chris Isaac was born in California in 1956 to a family of working parents who loved to listen to country and rock and roll at their leisure, so the boy's musical education began literally from the cradle. Chris especially loved the recordings of the "king" - Elvis Presley. Chris also played boxing, but left this hobby for a musical career. Returning in 1984 from Japan, where he studied as an exchange student, Chris founded the band Silvertone and released an album of the same name, but neither he nor the subsequent solo recording entitled "Chris Isaak" (1987) had a resounding success, despite the fact that Isaac the first hit has already appeared - "Blue Hotel". The musician's modest achievements did not suit his record company Warner Bros., so after the next album, "Heart Shaped World" (1989) did not climb the charts above 149, Warner wanted to terminate Isaac's contract, explaining that that melancholic 50s-style ballads are not commercially viable. Chris still kept the contract with the company, but he was forced to make music for films.
