One of my favorite people was in town this week! None other the Chris 🙂

He was in town accompanying his client Kriyss Grant for a performance on Bet’s 106 & Park.

“Before  reaching the age of 21  Chris “Kriyss” Grant achieved goals that some would never dare to dream. Chosen by the most prominent female performer of our times, Beyoncé Knowles, Kriyss was appointed as Assistant Choreographer for her riveting I AM…SASHA FIERCE Tour. Kriyss’s ultimate dreams were realized when he was chosen by the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, to perform on his “This Is It” tour.  Kriyss has also worked with artists such as Rich Girl, Montana Tucker, and PA. Kriyss has amazed American television viewers world-wide with his talent and choreography on MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew. He also captivated millions of viewers with his singing and dancing abilities, as well as his humble spirit, on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, MTV’s Making the Band 4, and BET’s 106 and Park.”

Rehearsals were held at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and I was excited to see the behind the scenes of the performance. Kriyss was extremely professional and humble. There is no doubt that he’s a rising star!!

He was featured on Essence.com and you can also follow him on Twitter.

Kryiss’s friend Ashley Everett stopped by to show support.

You may recognize her from Beyoncé “Single Ladies” video. 😉
