1982

Christopher Rene (previously René; born December 25, 1982) is an American singer-songwriter, musician and producer.

He was in a band called Diversion and also had a solo career, releasing the album Soul'd Out.

Chris auditioned for the first season of The X Factor USA with one of his original compositions "Young Homie" and was one of the finalists during season one, with L.A. Reid as his mentor.

He was the last contestant eliminated in the competition, behind winner Melanie Amaro and runner-up Josh Krajcik.

He is most popular in New Zealand, with his single "Young Homie" reaching number one in the New Zealand charts.

Christopher Rene was born to Joan René (née Sampson) and Rafael Leon "Googie" René.

1994

Diversion was Rene's first musical alliance; it was an alternative pop band based in Soquel, California (1994–2002) composed of Tas Szemeredi (vox/bass), Chris Rene (guitar/vox), and Mike Rene (drums).

They were only 12 or 13 years old when they formed the band, but still performed at well-known venues such as the Red Room.

2000

The group released a self-titled CD, Diversion, in 2000.

They were "Young Homie" (during auditions, week 5 of the live shows and his performance in the final) and "Where Do We Go from Here" (in week 7 of the live shows, on December 7, 2011).

He also sang a mix of "Let It Be"/"Young Homie" on November 22, 2011 in Week 5 of the live shows of the series, and also in the finale of the show.

His song "Young Homie" is "about learning how to be a grown-up," says Rene.

"When you're young, you feel like there's no limit, no consequences to your actions. So it's me talking to my younger self and to all the young brothers out there, telling them that life's too beautiful to live like that."

While the song contains a heavy subject, it is reflective of Rene's personal life.

Rene plays piano, guitar, bass, drums, among others.
