Christopher Alan Kirkpatrick ("Chris") was born October 17, 1971 and is the oldest member of 'N SYNC. He is also the big brother in his family, having four younger sisters, Molly (21), Kate (18), Emily (13), and Taylor (3).

Chris fell in love with performing when he was cast in the lead role in Oliver at the age of 11. He went on to be in many plays in high school and came to Valencia College in Orlando as a theater major. After graduating from Valencia, Chris enrolled in Rollins College and became heavily involved in the Chamber Choir. He fell in love with singing and has been performing in the Hollywood High Tones for years.

Chris is an avid football and hockey fan. His favorite teams are the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Pittsburgh Penguins. (This isn't a big surprise since Chris is originally from Pittsburgh!)

His favorite colors are black and silver. When asked about his favorite singers, Chris chose Michael Jackson and Brian McKnight.

Chris loves in-line skating, surfing and roller hockey. When he is not participating in sports, Chris can be found on the dance floor at local clubs, dancing to techno music.

The perfect girl for Chris must have a great sense of humor, be very outgoing and share his love for music and sports. He is very excited about the future of the group and is looking for all of you who fit this description to get 'N SYNC!
