Chris Pati

Biography Chris Pati , a musical genius who began at 5 years old playing piano, guitar, bass and drums, established himself as a multi-instrumental prodigy by age eight. Chris wrote his first Piano piece at age seven and was playing Grade 6 N.Y.S.S.M.A. Piano music by the likes of Liszt, Chopin and Rachmaninoff by age 9. Chris was playing professionally by the age of 13 and subbed for famed session drummer Steve Gadd at age 16. This is quite impressive in itself, but Chris went on to become even more well known for his blazing ability on guitar when after many years of producing records, he released his first Blues album, ‘Blufire’ through his own label Modern Voices Records.Blufire was a product of an intensive two-week studio stint where Chris virtually locked himself in the studio, writing, performing and producing everything by himself. When he emerged, the result was a cathartic debut that established Chris immediately as one of the top modern blues-rock greats.Black Chair,' the follow up to Blufire, was the album that launched Chris onto the National scene, with a huge radio campaign and support dates that culminated with a Top 15 position on the Billboard Blues Charts and made Chris music a staple in the genre.In his spare time, Chris guest conducts various National Symphony Orchestras such as The Louisville Orchestra and the Arlington Symphony. He has also arranged all the Herman’s Hermits hits for symphony and acts as Peter Noone’s Musical Director for all of his symphonic shows.Now with ' Music² ', Chris goes where no Artist in history has ever gone.
