Born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA, Christopher “Ambition The Kid” Myers is a dynamic performer.
He briefly performed with the R&B group, Pretty Ricky, then went on to start his solo career.
Myers has worked alongside many artists, such as Keri Hilson, Trey Songz, and Rick Ross. He has
debuted on 106 & Park and the B.E.T. Awards and has appeared in magazines such as Vibe, Right
On, and Black Beat. The Elite Pittsburgh got a chance to catch up with the grinding artist and ask
a few questions so our readers could get to know him on a personal level.
PLUMMER: I’m so happy to finally get a
chance to sit down and talk to you. I want
to begin this interview by getting to talk to
you about your career before I hop into the
fun stuff. So let’s begin. Could you describe
one of your typical work days?
MYERS: Sure. Most days I’m on the road
performing, so we drive or fly into the city
we’re performing in and we check into the
hotel. Next, I have to do a sound check at
the venue and get everything ready for the
show. I perform until about 2:00 a.m. and
then pack up and I might get to the hotel
again around 4:30 a.m.
PLUMMER: Sounds like your day is pretty
exhausting. Are there any negatives to your
job?
MYERS: Even when you’re doing something
you love to do, everything becomes a job
after a while. The hard part for me is that

you never know where your career can go
in entertainment. It’s very up and down.
PLUMMER: Yes, the entertainment industry
is a very tricky career. It also has its perks
though. Can you tell me about a project or
accomplishment that you consider to be
significant in your career?
MYERS: I did a remake of a Boys II Men
song called “Please Don’t Go.” It was the
song that made me want to learn to sing.
Someone heard the remake I did which got
me an audition that got me into R&B group
Pretty Ricky. I believe it’s the small things
you do everyday in pursuit of your dreams
that matter the most.
PLUMMER: I agree with you on that. The
small things do matter in life. Now lets get
to know the everyday Christopher Myers.
I’m sure tons of women would like to know
