“I learned that no one was going to give me better advice than what I instinctively knew was right."
I find write-ups to be cheesy, so I thought why not write this in third person? Great! So here goes...
First, 3 truths & 1 lie:
-Chris started his career in 2001.
-Chris is straight.
-Chris is an alumni of Berklee College of Music.
-Chris has worked with a wide range of creatives and artists, like Josh Server, Rooney and Iliza Shlesinger.
Fun fact! Some gear Chris uses in his home studio:
-Arturia MicroFreak synth
-Alesis vi49 midi keyboard
-Alesis Nitro Max drumset
-Alesis Vortex 2 keytar
-M-Audio Keystation 61MK3
-Kaotica Eyeball
-Moog Theremini
-Epiphone Hummingbird acoustic guitar
-Schecter Reaper 6 electric guitar
-IsoVox 2
-Focusrite Scarlett interfaces
-Aura handpan
-Ibanez TMB400TA electric bass
-Magadi Moon-10 kalimba
-Array Instruments mbira
-Fender amps
-Novation Launchpad Pro MK3
-PreSonus Eris monitors
-JBL 308p MKII monitors
-KRK Rokit5 monitors
-Akai MPK Mini MK3 midi keyboard (for travel!)
-Pioneer DDJREV1
-ROLI Seaboard 2
-Itone Shamisen
Chris has been writing music since 1998. Lots of those first songs were embarrassing because he rhymed things like "maybe" with "baby" and wrote about being in love with girls. *shudders*
Chris turned down a development deal at 18 because he didn't want to be in the CCM industry. He's agnostic, and not a judgy narrow-minded kook.
Although Chris officially retired from working in the industry in 2020, he continues to release music because it’s so financially lucrative for him.

"Absurdly talented."
“I didn’t truly discover who I was until I was forced to create it for myself. I didn’t find out what my voice could really do until I experimented on my own. I didn’t know I had this music inside me until I was left to my own devices. Everything I am today, musically, really is because I followed the beat of my own drum.”
The Voice:
A mixture of classical training and pop mannerisms on display in four stunning octaves. It's pure like a mountain stream, flirty with pop star sass—Broadway belting meets Britney commercialism.

"'Clingy' is a late contender for indie pop song of the summer."
