Chris Cagle is an American country music singer-songwriter. He was born on November 10, 1968 in DeRidder, Louisiana.

For five years, he worked odd jobs throughout Nashville, eventually landing a songwriting deal and co-writing album tracks for David Kersh. While working at a restaurant, he was discovered by an agent of the newly-formed Nashville division of Virgin Records, and was signed to a recording deal with the label in 2000.

Cagle made his debut on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts with the single "My Love Goes On and On", the first single from his debut album Play It Loud. The album, which was certified gold in the United States, also produced the Top 10 hit "Laredo" and "I Breathe In, I Breathe Out", his first and (to date) only Number One hit.

Play It Loud was followed in 2002 by Chris Cagle, released on Capitol Records; also a gold album in the U.S., it produced the Top 5 hits "What a Beautiful Day" and "Chicks Dig It". Anywhere But Here.

His third compilation, followed in 2005 and produced the no 12-peaking "Miss Me Baby". A fourth studio album, titled My Life's Been a Country Song, was released in 2008; its lead-off single, "What Kinda Gone", is currently a Top 10 hit on the country music charts.
