Christopher Maloney

Emotionally packed mixture of classic/modern rock

About Me

Listening to Christopher Maloney’s music is a truly unique experience. Consider the influences: a voice reminiscent of Rod Stewart’s rasp, Jeff Buckley’s soaring falsetto, and Sting’s quirkiness. Music with such classic influences as the Beatles and Pink Floyd and modern influences like U2, Radiohead and Supergrass. Melodies so catchy you find yourself not only singing along, but singing long after you’ve turned off the CD player. Lyrics so deeply personal that you find yourself hanging on every word, seeing how the story relates to your own life. Christopher’s music is full of dualities: songs of love, anguish, salvation, rage, redemption, passion. Songs that hold your hand and songs that smack you across the face. Songs that breathe fire and songs that soothe the beast within. The music is real, it’s raw, and it’s honest. Strangely enough, it’s also quite fun in a voyeuristic kind of way. Most of all, it’s interesting…a very interesting and captivating musical experience.
Christopher Maloney has two CDs out on the Sunset Records label, Control and The Terrors Of Intimacy. He is also a member of the progressive instrumental band COSMOSQUAD. As a touring musician, Christopher has worked in North, Central and South America, Europe, Japan and the Caribbean, and he maintains a regular schedule of sessions and club dates in Los Angeles. His recording projects include work with Dweezil Zappa, Lisa Loeb, Hardline, Lao Tizer, Gilli Moon and members of Savage Garden, Journey, Earth, Wind and Fire and INXS. Christopher is also a three-time ASCAP award winner for songwriting, and his compositions have been featured on television programs throughout the United States and Europe. He also has numerous musical endorsement deals, including Linc Luthier and Carvin basses, SWR amps and Dean Markley strings.
