About Me



My name is Chris Mitchell. I guess what I really want you to know about me is that I love to sing. I wrote my first song when i was in 6th grade. It was a silly little song with no words that I plunked out on the piano, but it was enough to get the wheels turning. My mom thought it was great, so I wrote another. 20 years of voice lessons, 12 bands, 1 orchestra, and 2 music schools later I am still here. At times I have a need to express my own thoughts, and sometimes I just want to sing and dance. What a wonderful thing huh?
