Christopher Chaos was born Christopher Bandini in Bishop, CA. He joined the US Army in 1999 and went on to serve almost 11 years on Active Duty with two tours to Iraq. Chris developed an interest in making videos while stationed in Korea in 2003. He would later create his video production company, Chaos Productionz in 2005. In 2008 Chris created the “Christopher Chaos” YouTube channel so that he could create vlogs and other creative videos in his spare time while in the Army.
During his last year in the Army he created a series of videos on YouTube called “Soldier to Civilian” where he documented what it was like to get out of the Army. In 2010 he would then separate from the Army with an Honorable Discharge and then receive an education in television and radio from Pikes Peak Community College in 2012. In the same year he changed from making videos as Chaos Productionz to Mayhem Factory as he continued to create music videos and documentaries on that channel as well as his vlogs and creative videos on the Christopher Chaos YouTube channel. It was not until 2017 that he decided to try creating Army related videos on the Christopher Chaos channel when the channel started to really grow. Rapid growth led to the channel changing gears from a vlog channel to an Army related channel and grew from less than 500 YouTube subscribers to over 10,000 subscribers in less than one year.
The channel was featured by YouTube on the trending page as a “Creator on the rise” in 2019 and now has more than 100,000 subscribers and over 25 million total views. He currently continues to create content for YouTube while he works as a full time instructor on Fort Carson where he teaches soldiers how to use various computer based systems. He is married with one daughter.
