Chris Isaak is an American singer, songwriter, guitarist, and occasional actor, best known for his distinctive voice, rockabilly style, and evocative, retro-flavored songs that often explore themes of love, heartbreak, and longing. He was born Christopher Joseph Isaak on June 26, 1956, in Stockton, California, USA.

Isaak gained widespread recognition in the late 1980s and early 1990s with his breakthrough hit "Wicked Game", which became a global success after being featured in David Lynch’s 1990 film Wild at Heart. The song is particularly noted for its haunting melody and Isaak's falsetto vocals. Its black-and-white music video, directed by Herb Ritts and featuring supermodel Helena Christensen, became iconic and helped boost Isaak’s popularity.

Isaak's musical style is deeply rooted in classic American rock and roll, drawing influences from Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, and other early rock legends. His voice is often compared to Orbison's for its dramatic, emotional quality and wide vocal range.

Throughout his career, Isaak has released multiple albums, including:

Silvertone (1985)

Chris Isaak (1987)

Heart Shaped World (1989)

Forever Blue (1995)

Speak of the Devil (1998)

Always Got Tonight (2002)

First Comes the Night (2015)

"Forever Blue", in particular, received critical acclaim and was nominated for a Grammy Award. His body of work often blends rockabilly, country, and pop-rock with lush, nostalgic production.

In addition to his music career, Isaak has also appeared in several films and TV shows. He had roles in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, Married to the Mob, and The Silence of the Lambs, among others. He also starred in his own comedy series, "The Chris Isaak Show" (2001–2004), which aired on Showtime and offered a fictionalized version of his life as a musician.

Known for his retro image, slick pompadour hairstyle, and charismatic stage presence, Chris Isaak remains a beloved figure in American music. He continues to tour regularly and maintains a loyal fan base, admired for both his musical talent and his engaging personality.
