Archive material and source history
Chris Rene grew up in Santa Cruz, California, and spent some difficult years as a teenager living on the streets of Oakland. He auditioned for The X Factor in 2011 with his original song 'Young Homie,' which became a viral moment and got him to the top five of the competition.
After that exposure, he released his self-titled debut album in 2012, which included the track 'Trouble.' He followed it with a second album called 'The Greatest Invention' in 2014. Other songs in his catalog include 'Where do We Go From Here' and 'Rockin' With You.'
In 2015, he was arrested for methamphetamine possession, which brought attention back to his struggles with addiction. The story that emerged from his X Factor appearance, a homeless singer finding a platform, has remained part of how people talk about him, though his music output since has been relatively quiet.
