Lil' Chris is the debut self-titled album by British singer-songwriter Lil' Chris. The album was co-written by Lil' Chris and pop producer and songwriter, Ray Hedges, alongside former member of Theaudience, Nigel Butler. Additional production also comes from Martin Brannigan (known for his work with Natalie Imbruglia). The album was originally due to be released on 9 October, two few weeks after the single "Checkin' It Out" was released, but was delayed as the album was not complete, eventually being released on 4 December 2006.
Lil' Chris rose to prominence in January 2006 at the age of 15 after appearing in series two of Channel 4's Rock School. The TV show saw Gene Simmons (from the band KISS) try to form a rock band out of a class of children attending Kirkley High School (now East Point Academy). In the series, Lil' Chris was immediately seen as a contender for the band after revealing that he could sing, play guitar, drum and write songs. Eventually he was selected as frontman and lead singer in the line-up for the group (now named "Hoax UK" after the slogan on his cap). In the final episode the group went on to open for Judas Priest, Rob Zombie and Anthrax at a concert in Long Beach, California. A week after the performance Lil' Chris was contacted by record producers Ray Hedges and Nigel Butler, who appeared in Rock School to help the class with songwriting. Hardman went on to sign a record contract with RCA Records and released his debut single "Checkin' It Out" in September 2006 which reached No. 3 in the UK Singles Chart.
