He began rapping in his later teenage years after initially dreaming of being a professional skateboarder, following a severe accident in 1998 that physically limited him. In a dark place, Chris turned to the bible for guidance, leading to his Christian faith, and penned rhymes to express his feelings at the time. At first, according to the man himself, he "absolutely sucked", but was passionate enough about music to hone his craft, and he got his start rapping in the short-lived duo Under One King under the name "Speedy", his old nickname from skating, before he went solo and changed his name to Manafest, which he chose at the time because it simply sounded cool.

While he is fairly subtle about his religion in his music, he's very outspoken about his beliefs in interviews, and there are some songs where he's considerably more blunt, especially on earlier albums. However, he has stated that he does not like being labeled as a Christian rapper, as he believes it gives off the false impression that he cares about preaching his values more than making good music.

Christopher Scott Greenwood, better known by his stage name Manafest (born July 19, 1979), is a Canadian rapper from Pickering, Ontario. One of the most popular artists in Christian hip-hop, Manafest has garnered a strong following among Christians and non-Christians alike over the years for his diverse music, connection with his audience, and personal lyrical content.
He began rapping in his later teenage years after initially dreaming of being a professional skateboarder, following a severe accident in 1998 that physically limited him. In a dark place, Chris turned to the bible for guidance, leading to his Christian faith, and penned rhymes to express his feelings at the time. At first, according to the man himself, he "absolutely sucked", but was passionate enough about music to hone his craft, and he got his start rapping in the short-lived duo Under One King under the name "Speedy", his old nickname from skating, before he went solo and changed his name to Manafest, which he chose at the time because it simply sounded cool.
He released his debut project, an [=EP=] titled ''Misled Youth'', in October 2001, which was followed by his first album ''My Own Thing'' in 2003. Receiving strong reviews, the album gained the attention of Christian rock label BEC, and he became one of the few rappers to be signed to the label. After his second record and major label debut ''Epiphany'' in 2005, he became popular with his third album ''Glory'' in 2006. This album featured a more diverse arrangement of sounds from Manafest, with Chris himself citing artists from Music/Sum41 to Music/KanyeWest as influences. After his fourth album ''Citizens Activ'', he began to flaunt his rock influences to the max with his fifth record ''The Chase'', on which he showed off his powerful singing voice and eclectic tastes. It received critical acclaim and is often considered to be his best album. Since then, he has enjoyed a following from both rap and hard rock fans, and has become a popular artist in his home country of Canada.
In addition to music, he is also an author, having written his autobiography ''Fighter: Five Keys to Conquering Your Fear and Reaching Your Dreams'' to accompany his sixth album ''Fighter'', and a vlogger, where he shares his life stories to his fans.
