American rock musician and occasional actor Christopher Joseph “Chris” Isaak has an estimated net worth of $21 million.
Songwriter Chris Isaak clearly loves the reverb-laden rockabilly and country of Sun Studios. In particular, he transfers the sweeping melancholy of Roy Orbison’s classic Monument singles (“Crying,” “Oh, Pretty Woman,” “In Dreams”) to the more stripped-down, rootsy sound of Sun, resulting in a stylized take on ’50s and ’60s rock & roll that made him into a star in the early ’90s, propelled to a great degree by the hit single, “Wicked Game.”
Isaak began performing after he graduated from college, forming the rockabilly band Silvertone. The group, which featured guitarist James Calvin Wilsey, bassist Rowland Salley, and drummer Kenney Dale Johnson, would become the singer/guitarist’s permanent supporting band. Isaak released his first album, Silvertone on Warner Bros. in 1985.
The musician then flexed his TV muscles in 2009 with The Chris Isaak Hour, whose debut on The Biography Channel was promoted in part by Mr. Lucky, his first album of original material in seven years. On September 13, 2015, he joined as one of the judges for The X Factor Australia Season 7.
