About Me


It has become difficult to sincerely fall in love with an artist. Different sounds invoke different feelings and responses. We are often forced to listen to one type of sound to capture one type of emotion. Please lend your ear to the sounds of Chris Assaad. Chris is a true artist whose music allows you to release yourself in soul and spirit; never forcing you to compromise. Chris’s songs capture the essence of struggle, celebrate the bliss of pure happiness, and recognize the duality of life and love. With a sound which can be uplifting and saddening, up-tempo and lazy, the music lover no longer has to search for music that captures their emotion when the full range is on a Chris Assaad B-side.
For Chris, music and spirituality are deeply intertwined. Music is a state of mind in which we as spiritual beings are free to explore our own nature and that of others, grow and express ourselves sincerely, and it is for this reason that Chris has chosen the path of music as the humble labour of his life. The spiritual journey is the essence of Chris’ music, as he feels it is the synonymous relationship between existence and music which gives meaning to all worldly experience. Chris’ song writing touches on emotionally mature subject matter while maintaining a playful element, refusing to concede to traditional genres of musical interpretation.
For those seeking vindication from a world of music which is losing sight of its art, a light will shine forth with the powerful and patient sounds of Chris Assaad. Music lovers, look no further for your remedy.
