seductive, hypnotic, new school sound with a feel of the classics that
hasn’t been heard in years! Born and raised in Oceanside, CA, he was
exposed to a broad variety of sights and sounds at a young age. His
parents enrolled him in piano lessons at the young age of 5 and he hasn’t looked back since!
Currently, Chris is passionate in his role as a musical workaholic.
Simultaneously he’s writing, recording, producing and performing a
number of new compositions that is very well the foundation for his next
album. He has released a number of independent projects in which he’s
built a loyal fan base throughout Southern California going back to
2000. “Get A Hold Of Yourself,†is the forthcoming single from Chris’
upcoming album, “the Catalyst†due to be released the first week of
September 2008. The album will be released on March 24, 2009.
In addition to his pursuits as a solo artist, Chris is a well versed team
player. He has co-written over 200 songs with the brilliant production
duo “TEAM ICE.†Specializing in Urban Pop/Hip-Hop and Soul, they
work with a multitude of up and coming artists and have even started
their own record label, FULL VOLUME RECORDS. Chris is also a key
member of the San Diego based band “FUNKTUATION.†They have
performed hundreds of shows since their inception in 2004, and are
putting the finishing touches on their funked up debut album.
Over the years, Chris has shown his care for those around him by
performing at a number of charity events. His efforts have included
performing for the Oceanside Humane Society, various Elderly
communities, E.Y.E. (Protecting Women from Domestic Violence), etc.
In addition, a Winter 2008 is being planned in which Chris and the FULL
VOLUME ALL-STARS will visit a number of children’s hospitals in an
effort to raise spirits for the holidays. Furthermore, Chris is a frequent
traveler always in pursuit of a new experience he can translate in to his
next song. With a strong family foundation and close connection to his
friends and colleagues, Chris has a foundation that spells success.
“There’s never been a back-up plan. Entertaining people around the world
is something I’ve dreamt of since I was a child,†says Chris. “I feel
it’s my responsibility to utilize each gift I’ve been so blessed to have
been given to its maximum strength. With each performance, studio session,
and essentially every life experience, I give my all and will
continue to do so with each opportunity that is presented my way.â€
