8:00 o'clock wake up, AAHHHH!!!!

About Me

I'm not trying to make this too formal (at least for now), I've got a website for that. My name is Chris. Also know as Christopher, Topher, Spils, or whomever. I play guitar and drums and write weird music and stuff. My own music is creative "fusiony" stuff, but I like to play EVERYTHING!, NOT JUST JAZZ IMPROV STUFF. I went to Berklee College of Music and graduated with a performance degree. While there I got to play in various capacities with some great musicians like Hiromi, Wayne Krantz, Steve Jenkins, Felonious Fonk, Steve Pyne, George Garzone, Thomas Pridgen, Jammey Haddad, and many others. Now I live in LA where I've played and recorded with some great musicians like composer Chris Opperman, Tiako group "OnEnsemble", and too many others to name. I also love to teach and compose my own music.
