Music Industry Background

Born into one of the most influential families in the country music business, Chris is the son of Mike Borchetta, the industry executive credited with discovering and breaking Tim McGraw, and the brother of Scott Borchetta, founder and CEO of Big Machine Label Group and the executive who signed and launched Taylor Swift and The Band Perry. The Borchetta family's music industry legacy spans more than five decades, with ties to artists including Frank Sinatra, the Beach Boys, Reba McEntire, Toby Keith, and Tim McGraw.

Before dedicating himself full-time to real estate, Chris spent over 25 years in music, marketing, and radio promotion, working with record labels including Big Machine Records, Category 5 Records, Rebel Engine Entertainment, and Star Farm Records. He worked directly with platinum-selling artists Train, Travis Tritt, LOCASH, Jo Dee Messina, Jerrod Niemann, Mark Chesnutt, and American Idol finalist Bo Bice — including breaking LOCASH's hit single "I Love This Life" at radio. An accomplished photographer, Chris also shot the album cover art for LOCASH, adding a creative and visual dimension to his industry work. This experience in marketing, promotion, negotiation, relationship-building, and visual branding now gives him a distinct edge in promoting properties, producing marketing content, and attracting qualified buyers.
