************************************************************ *************************Chris Szajko - Pronounced (Shy-co)An outcast as a heavy metal fan among his punk loving skater friends, Chris first picked up the guitar at age 14. With gentle encouragement from his dad, a.k.a. Red Foreman, "If you are going to sit around the basement like a dumb-ass and play that guitar, you are going to school for it" Chris moved to Minneapolis where he graduated from Music Tech's guitar program. Upon returning, Chris quickly earned local fame for his guitar work, playing the guitar 'like a riot' to paraphrase a dead guy. Fielding offers from dozens of area bands, Chris first played with an original rock band, VanKamp and then joined one of the most popular cover bands in Indiana, Pfreak Show breaking club attendance records across the Midwest. Chris also taught guitar lessons at a local music store, and then started SHYKO. While he was writing and making records, Chris was also producing and engineering at Grand Master Studios in South Bend,affiliated with Grand Master Records, a division of Grand Master L.L.C. which has put His talent on dozens of artists CD's, movies, and commercials. Then Chris moved out to San Diego, CA where he currently resides and released his self-titled record. Chris is a true musician in the fact that he sang and played all the instruments on the album, as well as engineering and producing, (with the exception of drums on a couple of songs.) His first single Behind You is an energy-driven song with grinding guitars and a chorus that you wont forget. The second single Shes Got That Somethin is a bouncy pop/punk style with catchy vocals. It could be crossed with 80s and new rock influence. As the album goes on, the styles progressively change showing his wide range of musicianship, but not leaving the pop/rock genre. Then on the last track of the album Shyko covers Free For All by Ted Nugent as his way of saying thanks to Ted for the inspiration! I was taught all styles while in music school, which helped me to become more rounded in music, but I have no desire to leave the pure enjoyment and energy of rock. I want to bring back the fun and challenge in playing guitar! says Chris. LATEST NEWS!!!!! Shyko has rejoined forces with "PFreak Show", and is currently working on a "PFreak Show" album to be released in the near future!background-attachment:scroll; background-position:center center;background-repeat:no-repeat; background-color:transparent;}.contactTable table, table.contactTable td { padding:0px !important;border:0px; background-color:transparent; background-image:none;}.contactTable a img {visibility:hidden; border:0px !important;}.contactTable .text {font-size:1px !important;}.contactTable .text, .contactTable a, .contactTable img {filter:none !important;}.contactTable .whitetext12 {display:none;}
