Chris Jai Alex is from Lansing, Michigan. Chris was Literally born into music, his mother Gloria Sanford, was an aspiring artist since before his birth. With the exception of minor success and a star search appearance, she remained undiscovered. As the years passed she turned her attention over to her sons in hopes of realizing that ultimate dream nearly two generations old. Chris Jai showed promise, having a knack for creativity he taught himself piano, guitar, and midi music production. Later on he produced and preformed with a series of groups, the last and best being Mirage. Mirage had local success, they performed at local venues, one of which was with Boys II Men's, Wanya Morris. With Gloria's passing shortly before Mirage forming, she unfortunately never got to see or hear this group.After graduating from high school he moved to New York for a career in music production under the tutelage of the head director of membership for ASCAP and road manager for def jam recording artist CASE...it didn't work out. He returned to Michigan, shortly after Chris Jai and brother Seyque started the indie record label Phineqx Entertainment (PE).Phineqx Entertainment to this day remains the most successful record label in the history of Lansing, Michigan. The 1st release entitled "PE 2003" sold over 4000 copies and various PE mix tapes sold well over 47,000 copies.

Later Chris moved out with Sachiko Ishida.Shortly after his arrival in LA he began studying martial arts informally at LA Valley College, there he was introduced to martial art acting, and stunts where he found himself training with world class athletes, one of which was Wayne Daglish, a fellow film maker and frequent collaborator. After a while he picked up tips and made friends with a top Hollywood stuntman. He eventually started training at the world renowned 8711 under Chad Stahelkshi, whose group was responsible for bringing their magic to films such as The matrix series, 300, V for Vendetta, along with many other A+ Hollywood blockbusters.Later Chris Jai signed with Osbrink Agency for Voice Over and continues to voice video games and animation along with animating some characters with his movement via motion capture technology.
