Layout by CoolChaser Chris Koch:Growing up the son of pentecostal church music leader, the music has always been an indispensable element in Chris’ life. He was given his first bass at the age of 14 and almost immediately began playing in church. After two years of bass lessons, Chris purchased his first acoustic guitar and began writing songs. Throughout the years, Chris has played or jammed with numerous groups and individuals, the most notable of which being the complimentary mints. In January of 2009, Chris had the distinguished honor of joining musical forces with one Mark Mars. With similar interests and tastes in music, Chris has once again established an enthusiasm for the creation of music through this collaboration.
