Even from a young age, Chris Buck knew he was destined to make waves in the music biz.

And fact is, five years since breaking onto the scene with his self-titled, debut album, the singer/songwriter has continued to make a name for himself on the Canadian country stage, and beyond.

“I've always done country music, I've never done anything else,” he explains with a smile. “I sang Alan Jackson at my first karaoke contest. It’s a genre and a lifestyle that has always just spoken to me. It’s how I’ve always lived.”

Now, with brand-new music on its way, Chris says he’s ready for fans to really experience the kind of artist he’s always wanted to be — one that works hard and lays it all on the line.

“I wanted to create an album where every song is something special,” he said. “This album took time, and I think people are really going to be able to see the development, not only as a singer, but a writer, as well. I want everyone to see that hard work does pay off, and this album is the culmination of that.”’

One of the fastest rising Canadian country acts since the release of the Billboard Top 20 hit That’s When You Know featuring Kira Isabella, Chris saw the track hit hard with over 7 million streams, earning him a gold record and a CCMA Award nomination for Video of the Year.

Buck went on to release ALL IN in 2019, his second album, adding to his total five Top 40 singles and over 13 million streams.

According to Chris, it’s that slow gradual climb through the ranks which has continued to help him grow over the years, as well as help him understand who is as an artist and performer — and he wouldn’t have it any other way.

Kicking off this new era is Can’t Beat The View, a track written with a very personal love story in mind.

“At that point I had been dating my girlfriend for about a year and a half, and that’s where the inspiration came from, really,” Chris recalled. “It's basically about how you've seen all the beautiful sights in the world, but your girl beats all of them at the end of the day. I think that’s an idea a lot of people are going to relate to.”

In addition to penning and recording some of the strongest material of his career, Chris recently signed with Anthem Music Publishing, as well as new record label Sakamoto Music distributed by Warner Music Canada.

“After almost two years of writing and working harder than ever, that’s a really rewarding thing to be able to share,” he said, adding he’s been lucky enough to have a great relationship with the entire Sakamoto Agency Team over the years. “I’m so excited for this next chapter in my career, and I can't wait for everyone to hear some of the new music I've recorded with award-winning producers Jeremy Stover/Julian King and Dan Swinimer.”
