Chris Rice is a former American singer and songwriter who worked in the contemporary Christian music, contemporary folk, adult contemporary and adult album alternative genres. He became a recording artist in 1996 after signing a contract with Rocketown Records and releasing his debut album, Deep Enough to Dream. He released six albums between 1996 and 2007, before entering a 12-year hiatus. In 2019, he ended his hiatus and released a joint album with Andrew Ripp.
In 2020, Rice was accused of sexually assaulting a minor between 1995 and 2003 while leading worship at youth camp retreats for a church. In 2022, an investigation from an independent establishment determined the allegations to be credible. He has not released a statement regarding the allegations and has not been active in music since then.
