About Me

Hi there!
I'm a musician from the Netherlands. In 2007/2008 I recorded my first album, on which I basically took care of everything myself (all the instruments, vocals, artwork, production).
It's called A Glimpse Inside, and features 10 symphonic rock songs.
I'm happy to announce that my album "A Glimpse Inside" is available now! If you're interested in purchasing a copy, check out the links on the left side of your screen ;-)
Anyway, I recently formed a band in order to play this music live.
Bandmembers are:
Arjan Bruin - Drums
Bas Immerzeel - Guitars, Backing Vocals
Rene de Vink - Bass
and me - Keys, Vocals

I'm also working on my next album, which will be called Making Sense. So keep and eye on that one.
Also, check out my Prog-Rock band called Sky Architect . We have an album coming up called Excavations Of The Mind.
That's it for now, thanks for reading!

"CHRIS offers a modern Progressive rock music, made of straightforward melodic work combined with complex symphonic arrangements. The vocal parts are worked-out, sometimes reminiscent of SHADOW GALLERY... Or THE BEACH BOYS as well ! Neo Progressive lovers in the vein of IQ will certainly appreciate this refreshing opus, entertaining and ambitious at the same time."
