I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
My name is Chris Sernel and I am obsessed with designer denim!!
I’m probably best known (if I’m known at all) as the singer/songwriter of a cool little rock band called ESCAPE FROM EARTH. We’re from Chicago and we’ve hung out with some pretty cool people along the way! We were featured in a COCA-COLA commercial on MTV, performed at the MISS USA Competition, had a full-page article in TEEN PEOPLE Mag, we’ve got some award winning songs (International Songwriting Competition, SongOfTheYear, Billboard Song Contest), played sold out shows at Chicago’s METRO and HOUSE OF BLUES, toured with the likes of Switchfoot, Butch Walker, Breaking Benjamin, Taproot, Quietdrive and we have more fun than should be allowed!
I’ve had the great honor and privilege of working alongside two of the greatest producers in the business. BOB EZRIN (Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper) and RAE DILEO (Filter, Veruca Salt) produced Escape From Earth’s 2004 EP “Three Seconds East.†I took what I learned from those guys and co-produced our follow-up LP “Who Do I Have To Kill†with Rae DiLeo. Both records have sold thousands of copies and my experience gained in the studio with these guys is priceless!
I'm also the President of CupCake Records. I formed the label with my bandmates, we signed ourselves and the rest is history. I love the business side of music just as much as the creative side and this allows me to take control of my own career. No one cares more about my projects than me. Get rid of the red tape and all of the usual conflicts artists have with their labels. The only conflicts I ever have with the label are what flavor cupcakes taste best!
When I’m not busy escaping from earth or baking cupcakes, I focus my efforts on songwriting and producing other artists. I’ve co-written with some really talented people including producer/songwriter BOB EZRIN, JASON BLUME(cuts with Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, Jesse McCartney and others), and a variety of up-and-coming artists both locally and nationally. I’ve had the distinct pleasure to have worked with the following artists either as producer, engineer, mixer, songwriter, co-writer or some combination of the aforementioned: Escape From Earth, Becky Johnson, Beckon Q, Tubring, Super 8-bit Brothers, Rob Kleiner, Kelsey Montanez, Erika Lauren and many others!!
Bottom line is I love music. I love designer denim. I love making music while wearing designer denim. So let’s do it shall we?
