Road Trip
In August and September 2022, Chrissy Metz will hit the road for a series of City Winery shows. "I love people and I love to connect to people," she said. "I know what music does for me and I hope that it does that for people that come to see me."
At Home With Chrissy
After being part of people's homes for seven years thanks to This Is Us, Chrissy hopes viewers can continue the connection in her live shows. "I hope that they're feeling as if they're just sitting on the couch having a deep conversation with me and there happens to be really beautiful music behind it," she said. "I hope that they feel that way."
She's a Little Bit Country
While country music is what Chrissy says she is drawn to, she tries not to put her music in one genre box. "I love the instruments. I love a fiddle, Banjo, an acoustic guitar, but that doesn't mean that it can't be in every other genre of music too," she said. "Country is what I sort of leaned toward, I think more for the aspect of the storytelling and the instruments."
Getting Personal
When listening to Chrissy's songs, the singer hopes you hear messages of healing and love. "You can't heal unless you feel and sometimes that's the hard part," she said. "There are songs about my late father and about unrequited love, new love and even understanding that I'm deserving of love."
Real Deal
After signing with Universal Music Group Nashville in 2020, Chrissy knew she was on the right track. "I think I'll be songwriting forever," she predicted. "I will sing every single second of my life if I'm not talking. It's kind of what I do. Everything's a song anyway. To me, I was always a singer and you guys just didn't know."
Choir Queen
Chrissy's love for music started in middle school when she joined the school choir. "Music has always been really cathartic and really healing for me and really there for me especially through puberty when you're going through all these changes," she said. "That's really when I started to write poems and songs and make those silly little mixtapes."
Just Do It
As Chrissy embarks on a new chapter of her career, she hopes fans receive a message that it's never too late to try something new. "I think if it's placed upon your heart, there's a reason for it," she said. "Whether you're creative or you're analytical or you're more business minded, we can do so many different things."
