Chris Lindsey is an American country music songwriter and record producer. He is the husband of Aimee Mayo, with whom he has written several songs.[1][2] The two own Aimeeland Studios.
Lindsey's production credits include the number 1 hits "I Breathe In, I Breathe Out" by Chris Cagle and "19 Somethin'" by Mark Wills.[3] Other artists for whom he has produced include Jimmy Wayne,[4] Aaron Lines, Rachel Proctor, Can You Duet winners Caitlin & Will,[5] and American Idol season 9 finalist Casey James.[6] He also produced Kellie Pickler's self-titled second album and co-wrote five songs on it.[7][3]
One of his first writing credits was Lonestar's 1999 single "Amazed", which at the time was the first song in 18 years to chart at number 1 on both Hot Country Songs and the Billboard Hot 100.[8] He also co-wrote the song's followup, "Smile", which was at number 1 on the country charts while "Amazed" topped the Hot 100. "Amazed" received Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI) awards for over 5 million spins on radio, plus a Song of the Year award from the same association. It was also the top country song of 1999 according to Billboard Year-End.[3] Lindsey's songs have appeared in the television series Ghost Whisperer and Eli Stone.[3]
Another one of Lindsey's songs, "This One's for the Girls" by Martina McBride, peaked at number 3 on the country charts and number 1 on Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks. In 2011, it was chosen as a theme for the TV series The View.[9]
