About Me
Christopher Bryan Moore was born on February 11, 1986 in Joliet, Illinois. Since infancy he has always had a natural affiliation for music, as his mother told him stories of letting him feel the sound vibrations of musicians while she was pregnant with him. He was raised in a pro-rock and roll/heavy metal family background, where his father had an extensive vinyl collection. He literally had everything from Kiss to Iron Maiden to Black Sabbath, and Fleetwood Mac. As a youth, Christopher naturally had a knack for getting into trouble, yet he was always a great student and did well in his academic studies. He was a normal child, who did normal kid things, and was overly obsessed with the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. At the tender age of ten, he and his family decided to move to Florida in pursuit of a new life.
As the years progressed Christopher developed a keen interest in music, and was always borrowing his parent's music collection and widening his horizons. As he got older, he was often teased, bullied, beaten up and lied to in his early adolescence and had no one to call a friend during his early teenage years. He believed so much in his love for music he never chose to cut his long hair, and kept it long his for the full duration of his primary education. Christopher had also become paranoid and socially awkward, which had turned him into the local middle school outcast. It was here where he started to rely on music as his therapy release, he had seen both of his parents extensively use drugs, so he made it a point to avoid them at all costs. He also developed a strong sense of independence through his constant experiences of rejection from other people.
In high school he began to meet groups of people who shared his similar interest in musical lifestyles. Christopher had began to obtain a following in the goth communities of his high schools, where he felt he had finally found acceptance. It was during this phase where Chris was exposed to many elements that would forever change his life and give him a really broad point of view, and make him tolerant of virtually anything. It was also during this time Chris had developed his passion for expressing himself and showing his individuality. It was during his senior year where he decided to start making music, but remained solitary and spent hours in his roach infested studio apartment practicing his chops on a cheap acoustic guitar he had received as a gift.
As he began college, Chris had began to find acceptance in other groups of people, and had began to branch himself out into other forms of popular music. He met people who had encouraged him to listen to a diverse variety of music, and Chris apparently had listened. Chris doesn't believe in stereotypes, he isn't angry enough to be a goth, he's not always raw and gritty, so he doesn't classify as a hip hop artist, he doesn't wear tight fitting clothes, and he dislikes coffee so he couldn't be called a yuppie or a hipster, he doesn't always want to rock like a hurricane, so he couldn't be a full-blown rocker, he doesn't do drugs and he loves cutting edge technology, so being a hippy is out, he doesn't play video games all the time, so he couldn't be a nerd either. Chris is just himself, but he does borrow elements from all the aforementioned groups to create a well rounded passionate individual who cares about himself and the art he creates.
He had ended up becoming homeless after failing to save his money, partially due for his love of attending an excessive amount of concerts and the other due to his lack of self control and eccentrics. He had attempted to play in several bands, all of which he felt as if he had no creative control, and he felt as if his style was too weird or abstract to be accessible for traditionally playing in a band. Chris' style had become very experimental, he developed interest in creating innovative soundscapes, and breaking the rules of traditional music. The radio had gotten monotonous and video channels were no longer playing music videos, this only fueled Chris' passion for the lesser known, but more creative form of music.
As of July 2007, Chris had decided to enter the world of electronic music, using digital samples, computerized programming, and some analog instruments. He used various computer softwares to create original beats which employed a wide variety of technical presision and cutting edge, electronic samples featuring complex composition techniques. He also began to develop interest in DJ's, dance music, and live electronics through the course of 2008 as well.
Now Christopher realizes, it has become more than a hobby, it had become his way of life. When he wakes up in the mornings, he usually sits on the computer cooking up his latest musical observations before the day begins. He often goes into late hours of the night, and sacrifices sleep for his brand of music. His obsession with music had gotten so deep, he has had people suggest him to find another hobby..
He's ambitious and is looking to play live gigs in 2009, You may see him at a random club/concert looking to network with fellow acts he believes he would be interested in working with. He also is a visual artist, a remixer, and a videographer. He wants to be known for his artistry, and nothing else. He's also a real person that does not carry any chips on his shoulders, and is looking to network with a wide variety of artists, as he will play gigs with virtually anyone.
He is also working to perfect his sound and create music with positive imagery, imaginative sound scapes, infectious dance beats, and substance, all of which containing the elements of fun, realism, and edge. He is also working on a new podcast series called "Get Rich Quick w/ Chris Big Money" and he currently formulating a live act that will be like none other. Stay tuned, and thank you for listening.
