Chris Crocker Biography

Chris Crocker is one of the most popular and richest YouTube Star who was born on December 7, 1987 in Bristol, Tennessee, United States.

The video gained more than 2 million views in just 24 hours. He has also released multiple albums on iTunes.

Crocker’s earliest experience with online networking was as an editor of an e-zine, where he met his first boyfriend, with whom he was only able to interact online and by phone. Crocker later found another online forum, where his acting skills helped him blend in on a free phone party line run out of Los Angeles “filled with flaming black men, black drag queens, and trannies from Compton”, where he was outed as white and dubbed “cracker”. In June 2006, Crocker began uploading self-produced videos, characterized as his “singularly bizarre and angry take on gay life and his intolerant town”.

Prior to the attention from his September 2007 Leave Britney Alone! video, Crocker was seen as a viral video sensation and was asked by MTV vlogger and news staffer Matt Sunbulli to provide video for MTV’s website which also broadcasts on MTV itself. Crocker indicated that he hoped to develop his acting career; he agreed to develop ideas for a TV show with Los Angeles producer Glenn Meehan and met with representatives from MTV’s gay-themed channel LOGO. According to Variety, Crocker signed a development deal with 44 Blue Productions to create a “docusoap” reality television show, which would be called Chris Crocker’s 15 Minutes More. Rasha Drachkovitch, the production company’s co-founder, stated, “It’s going to pretty much be the Chris Crocker experience. We consider him a rebel character that people will find interesting. He’s going to be a TV star.”

He was born Christopher Darren Cunningham in East Tennessee and was raised by his grandparents.
