Milan Christopher

Music and acting career

Born on the south side of Chicago (77th & Hermitage), Christopher moved to Los Angeles in the summer of 2008 to pursue his rapping/producing & modeling career.

After a collaboration with Beyoncé on "Haunted," Christopher realized he wanted to focus on his solo rap career and concentrate on his own brand. Christopher released his EDM rap single "Burning Up" under the music management of D-tech A.R. of Akon's Konvicts Musiq Label, which earned him the spot of the number 1 indie artist in the country 6 weeks in a row & falling to the 23rd spot on Digital Radio tracker.

In mid-2016, Christopher released his album The Alpha and a controversial visual for his hit single "When I Go" based on domestic violence, bullying, and LGBT suicide rates. This music video caused Christopher to be featured on the cover of Los Angeles Times for a second time, as well as coverage in many music publications and blogs. The video won him the "Gentleman of Artistry Award" at the 2016 Gentlemen's Ball, Certificate of Excellence from National Black Caucus, and a personal thank-you letter from California State Senator Isadore Hall III.

Acting

Christopher appeared in a supporting role in the second season of the reality show Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood on VH1 as the first openly gay male on the channel's reality shows. As a result of this role, in 2016, Christopher was featured on the cover of the Los Angeles Times and on the nationally syndicated Wendy Williams Show. Christopher has also appeared on TV shows like Nip/Tuck, The Doctors, and 12 Corozones, as well as commercials for brands like Red Bull, Chase Bank, and Virgin Mobile.
