My Interests

Artistically, Chris is a powerful contributor in the area of concept and artist development. His knowledge of songwriting, production models and pop culture trends, has resulted in millions of records sold. Technically, Chris is at home in the most elaborate of world-class studios and is a highly skilled producer, recording engineer, programmer, and sound sculptor. His production and composing skills reflect his commitment to state-of-the-art technology by constantly pushing the envelope both creatively and technically. Cutting edge loops, beats, drum and guitar parts are a signiture part of Chris' productions.
