KHRISTOPHER RETURNS TO THE FOREFRONT OF THE MUSIC SCENE

New York, March 15, 2011 - KHRISTOPHER, born Mark Williams, has been around for years. After migrating to the US as a teenager from Trelawny in beautiful Jamaica, he started his musical career in New York with influences from Sanchez, Wayne Wonder, Marvin Gaye and Brian McKnight.

This Fifth Element Records Reggae recording artist doesn't come from a musical family, being the only singer to come up. He would frequent the Jamaican night clubs in New York just so he could practice and master his craft. When he tasted his first shot at studio life, everyone was shocked to hear such a voice come from this youngster. He met an incredible producer by the name of Louis "Flabba" Malcolm and he recorded hits like "I Want It That Way" then "All I Have To Give" on Flabba's Headache and Hurricane Riddim, respectively. His international success came after moving back to Jamaica in 1999 and recorded his cover version of "Who's Holding Donna" which peaked at number 2 on the Tri-State Top 20 Reggae Countdown.

Khristopher may be most popular for his collaboration with Delly Ranx on Jeremy Harding's Lightning Riddim with a track called "Vex Now" or most recently his "Everytime It Rains" track on the Mad Indian Riddim, produced by Collin "Bulby" York. Now, after a short stint off the scene, Khristopher is back in full swing to take the music industry by storm. He returned to New York and has been busy in the studio, working on several projects with a young producer named Andre "Dretegs" Harthorn on Fifth Element Records label.

Showcasing the talent we all know him for, this new team has released singles like "No Weh Nuh Bettah Dan Yard", "Marijuana", "Heartbeat Away" and "Do Whatever" all released on Fifth Element Records. A club version of "Heartbeat Away" was remixed by French producers Daddy and Hypa of D&H Remix and will record a track on their new riddim to be released on their D&H Records label. Khristopher also does productions of his own on his Singry Productions label, one such product being a cover of Stevie Wonder's "My Cherie Amour" in 2008. He also produced the My Boo Riddim and Few Year Ole Riddim.

He has been doing several shows and appearances in and around the New York/Tri-State Area and Florida. He recently performed at the Linkage Awards in New York, where he wowed the crowd with his thrilling presence on stage and even accepted an award on behalf of Fifth Element's artist, Natural Black. In the making now, is a video for "Do Whatever" on March 19th, which will be directed by Deus Beni Production, with styling and makeup by Niki Chin Designs. He is slated to perform that same night at Jamie Hype's Birthday Bash, dubbed "Forever Young", alongside his musical mentor, Wayne Wonder, at Club Ciboney.

Khristopher has been keeping busy under the direction of his label, Fifth Element Records at their studios, and intends on putting a stamp on all music lovers' hearts with his captivating voice, pulsating performances and humble nature. He can be contacted at anytime through his agent, Lesley Hayles, on Twitter or Facebook.
