Overview

Chris is the ultimate professional. His talent is not only in front of the camera singing but his voice is one of a kind. Chris doesn’t enhance any part of his recordings. The live stream is the same as he sings every time he performs. Warm, raw, edgy, powerful, tender, controlled, powerhouse, uniquely his own are all used to describe Chris Weaver.
When you meet Chris, the conversation usually ends with “you better book Chris before someone else does” or “if you want to bring the house down, book Chris Weaver”.

Amazing talent!!! Highly recommend

We booked CJW only a few days before our event which was an awards luncheon for attorneys. He sang 3 songs for us and blew the crowd away. It was the desired effect we were going for.

What's even more remarkable is how easy going and easy he is to work with! We chose the songs and he sang them. We would definitely recommend him!!!

Phenomenal Man of God

CJ Words cannot describe the angelic voice that God has lifted you with. Your performance is one that I will never forget, because of who you represent it was totally surprising. You are phenomenal performer and I'm just looking forward inquiring your service for future events that my ministry will sponsor because you brought the house down. Remember God has more for you and there is not enough room to contain it in the new season of 2025. He is the only one that "CAN" and "WILL" for them who "LOVE HIM". You one genuine and motivated person and it was a pleasure to have you to do praise and worship in Jesus name. 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽⅝

About

Chris Weaver, a New York native, grabbed America’s attention opening Season 13 of The Voice with “Try A Little Tenderness” turning all four chairs! Chris’ soulful sounds even caused judges to throw articles of clothing in enjoyment of his sound. Jennifer Hudson was so riveted she threw a shoe at him, a form of high praise, ultimately resulted in her becoming his mentor.
As if that wasn’t enough, Chris then introduced himself as a worship leader by day and drag queen by night! Chris continued to advance in the competition finishing in the Top 24, an untimely elimination indeed. Weaver was brought back to perform in the season finale, where he introduced the world to his drag persona, Nedra Belle. Nedra performed “Bang Bang” alongside music superstar Jessie J, and NYC singing drag group, “Stephanie’s Child”. Since The Voice Chris has been traveling the world, as Chris Weaver and Nedra Belle, sharing his power vocals, creating new music and making personal appearances including a special request performance from Theresa Caputo ( The Long Island Medium).
Chris Released his Christmas single “Mary Did You Know'' in December 2019 and won the Akademia Award 2020, His vocal flexibility and acrobatic runs are nothing like you hear in music today. Due to Covid, Chris performs on his weekly show “Chris Weaver Performing Live” on a streaming platform and social media where he continues to garner national and international attention.
Chris is the ultimate professional. His talent is not only in front of the camera singing but his voice is one of a kind. Chris doesn’t enhance any part of his recordings. The live stream is the same as he sings every time he performs. Warm, raw, edgy, powerful, tender, controlled, powerhouse, uniquely his own are all used to describe Chris Weaver.
When you meet Chris, the conversation usually ends with “you better book Chris before someone else does” or “if you want to bring the house down, book Chris Weaver”.
