Christopher Richard Stringini

Christopher Richard Stringini was born in Chicago, Illinois, on November 11th, 1986. He was adopted and taken home to Wheaton, Illinos by Robert and Kathleen Stringini and older brother Bobby when he was 4 days old. In his childhood he modeled and acted (he got his first big campaign at age 4). As a teenager he starred in the movie "Rule Number One" before he flew to Orlando, Florida for an audition for the German TV Show "Big in America" which searched for five young men to form a boygroup. Manager Lou Pearlman was very pleased with him and so he became a member of the band "US5" (other members: Tariq "Jay" Khan from England, Christopher "Izzy" Gallegos from the US and Michael "Mikel" Johnson and Christoph "Chris" Watrin from Germany). US5 had several Top5 songs in Germany and Poland and entered the Top50 of the UK charts with their single "Maria" which makes them the most successful boygroup in Europe.
