Early life

Kirkpatrick is of Irish, Scottish, Spanish and Indian descent. He went to Dalton High School in Dalton, Ohio; he moved to Orlando, Florida, and attended Rollins College while he performed at Universal Studios in a Doo Wop group, The Hollywood Hi-Tones and bussed at a local Outback Steakhouse. Lou Pearlman approached Kirkpatrick with an idea to start another group, and thus formed the nucleus for *NSYNC.[1]

Gone Country 2

In April 2008, it was announced Chris would be a part of the second season of CMT's show Gone Country. Chris participated in Gone Country 2 with other cast members: Sebastian Bach, Irene Cara (one episode), Mikalah Gordon, Jermaine Jackson, Lorenzo Lamas and Sean Young. The show was hosted by John Rich of the country duo Big & Rich.

During the show, for which each contestant had to prepare and perform an original song, Chris had one of the strongest songs of the competition with "That'll Get Ya By". He dedicated his performance to his mother who he said "held the family together". Chris surprised many country fans when he stepped on stage and proved he had the writing skills and voice to be a successful country artist.

The prize of having a record produced by John Rich and the promise of play from Kix Brooks on his radio show went to Sebastian Bach. However, John Rich congratulated Chris on his past success and his future successes by telling him he had one of the best songs and he could see it going number one as a country hit. The show's last episode of season two aired on September 26, 2008.
