I was born in 1969 and have been involved in professional work in acting and general entertainment from a child. My middle name is Francis so it made sense to use it as a stage name as it had a better sound to it then my real surname.

 

As a young child I started acting with the Anna Scher Children Theatre in Islington, London, England, and over the years was involved with professional work in both acting and singing productions under the name of Chris Francis until mid 1990's. I was also a part of a production team named USM Productions with my writing partner Jamie Golton. USM Productions were involved in writing and performing original pieces of incidental and full songs to be used in TV programs and Films. We also performed quite a few live performances with our original written songs as well as cover songs we gave the USM treatment. I also did a lot of Cabaret performances in London and the Isle Of Wight where I would perform old standards from  Matt Monro, Frank Sinatra to the most modern that was around in that day. Whilst doing all of this, I had a regular job with a well known London Evening Newspaper.

 

I got married in November 1998 and my wife Sarah and myself moved to the Isle Of Wight to be close to family in December 2000 where we still live at present.

 

I was always called a Gentleman by friends over the years and decided to use the name Gent Francis for the name of this site, as well as being one of my favourite Belgian Towns as my family are of Belgian descent.

 

At the moment I am working with Royal Mail as a 'Postman' here on the Isle Of Wight and loving my life.

 

You can find all Projects i have been involved with on the Projects Page.

 

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my Wife, Family and Friends for all their love and support over the years, and thank you for browsing this site.

 

If you would like to drop me an email about this site or if you have a question check on the Contact link on the left hand side menu to get in touch with me.

 

All that's left to say is, I hope you enjoy the content of the site and also hope it brings you some kind of joy.

 

All The Best

Chris 'Gent' Francis
