KOMU- Chris Corvino Coverage!

FULTON - Born, raised, schooled and living in Fulton, one local singer got his break opening for a world famous comedian in Chicago.

It was a case of one hometown boy helping another.

Chris grew up a pretty popular guy. Afterall, his mom used to own the local daycare and now owns the local candy store.

"I pretty much grew up with all my classmates, they went to the daycare first," Branch said. "Now she's turned it into a candy store and a lot of my friends still come to get her candy."

Chris is a hometown boy.

"I wouldn't mind a house in Miami and Puerto Rico, but I'm going to have a house in Fulton just the same," he said.

A hometown boy who caught the ear of another hometown boy, Jefferson City's own Cedric the Entertainer. Chris, whose stage name is Chris Corvino, opened for Cedric the Entertainer Saturday, Jan. 16 in Chicago.

"That's kind of my first step," Branch said. "If people like me then I could maybe open up on some other tours."

Chris got one chance to wow the crowd, his new single, "Irresistible."

"He made that song for me which is pretty exciting," his fiancee Heather said.

"There are other artists I could go with and possibly open up for them,"

From sweet treats to sweet sounds, Chris plans to branch his music career into an irresistible future.
