Christian Chavez is a singer and actor best known for his role as Giovanni Méndez Lopez in the telenovela Rebelde and its spin off pop group RBD. Since 2007 he has been open about his homosexuality. In 2002, Chavez was cast as Fernando 'Fercho' Lucena in the telenovela Clase 406. The series had four seasons and 350 one-hour episodes in total.

In 2005, Chavez joined a new telenovela Rebelde as Juan "Giovanni" Méndez Lopez, a mischievous and rebellious student at a private boarding school in Mexico. Chavez became widely known for his ever-changing hair colors. The soap opera was transmitted in 65 other countries, including the United States, Mexico, Serbia, Peru, Romania, Brazil, Spain, Slovenia, Bulgaria Slovakia, Croatia and Albania. A major plot line of the show revolved around a group of six students forming a pop band. A notable aspect of the series is that Chavez and five of his other co-stars (Maite Perroni, Dulce Maria, Anahi, Alfonso Herrera and Christopher Uckermann) became actual members of a real life band RBD. RBD created most of the music used on the show, and the six quickly became one of the most popular music acts in Latin America. In 2011, Chavez turned heads with the provocative music video for his single "Libertad" featuring singer Anahi which became an instant sensation on YouTube with more than 1,000,000 views within three days of its upload. The video featured Chavez in a church confessional telling a priest he was not sorry for his sexual preference. The video featured a cameo by Perez Hilton. "The video looks super sexy," gushed Hilton on his blog PerezHilton.com. "It's inspired us to unleash our own LIBERTAD." "Libertad" continues to be an anthem for gay youth throughout Latin America.

On August 14, 2012, Chavez released the highly anticipated album Esencial, an acoustic compilation of songs performed at his show in São Paulo, Brazil in January 2012. People Magazine called the albums release "the return of Christian Chavez". A red carpet presentation of Esencial was held in Mexico City in June. Chavez performed duets with RBD co-star Maite Perroni and Mexican Pop/Rock Singer Ana Victoria.
