Fun Fun Fun Fest 2009 Artist Spotlight: MC Chris
BLUE STAGE // SATURDAY NOVEMBER 7TH // 4:35PM
Chris Ward, otherwise known as MC Chris (always free from punctuation
and capitalization), is a voice actor, rapper and improvisational
comedian born September 2, 1975, in Libertyville, Illinois. His
trademarks include the synthesis of his 'geek' heritage with the
'gangster' image associated with hiphop artists, and the high pitch of
his voice, celebrated in his 2003 song '10 Year Old' (likening his
voice to a child of ten years age).
He has appeared on many of Williams Street Studios shows on Adult Swim,
most notably Aqua Teen Hunger Force (as the crude and often misguided
MC Pee Pants) and Sealab 2021 (in some bit parts, consistently
recurring as the also crude and often misguided Hesh), and a bit part
in The Brak Show. He also wrote for Sealab 2021 and The Brak Show, and
later lent a track to the online music game Flash Flash Revolution.
Chris has released five albums, the first of which is downloadable for
free on his website. The albums are: Life's A Bitch and I'm her Pimp,
Knowing is Half the Hassle, Eating's Not Cheating (and also a
re-release of it), Dungeon Master of Ceremonies and MC Chris is Dead.
He has recently wrapped up several successful tours across the U.S. In
October of 2004, he announced his resignation from Cartoon Network to
the public on his blog to focus on his recording career (roughly
halfway through the entry), but has said that he is willing to return
to William Street when needed. He has since toured throughout the
continental United States in an effort to expose all of America to the
growing genre of nerdcore rap.
