Christopher J. Essex from Cosmic Love is a successful recording artist and performer

Christopher grew up in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, yearning to be on stage. In fact, he started acting at a very young age. To pursue his broad interest in stage life, he earned a bachelor's degree in Fine Arts from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA. Despite his passion for singing, he was unable to switch to it immediately. Essex moved to New York City after finishing his degree and continued acting for a living.

After a long career as an actor, the Cosmic Love single landed a role as Johnny Cash in Broadway's Million Dollar Quartet in Chicago. Essex then toured 13+ countries in Europe, reprising their role on Norwegian Cruise Lines.

During this time, he spent years as a touring actor and musician in Broadway’s Million Dollar Quartet. Essex has also been a dancer on the show Ranch Hands Cowboylesque, as well as an instructor for line dancing and Country Two-Step.

Presently, Christopher lives in Nashville and has been grinding to be a better version of himself. Tornadoes and the global pandemic have made life difficult for him as well. He has, however, been consistent throughout his career. He was able to write songs, perform at the 3rd and Lindsley Backstage Venue, and complete production on his debut single Swipe Right On Me!

Nevertheless, the country music crooner gets a lot of his strength from his mother. Essex expressed his love for his mother in an Instagram post for Mother's Day. He wrote:

If you want to know why I am the man I am... look at this woman! Honestly, my mom has shown me what it is like to never quit. She has had one of the hardest lives one could live and yet she wakes up and keeps fighting. Fighting not just for herself but ALWAYS for me

Over the years, Christopher has also written and performed on a number of his original songs like My Kinda Place, Lie With Me, On The Inside, etc.
