About Me


So...apparently my MySpace page got hacked or something..but whatever.
I am 15/16 Asian and 1/16 Dutch..so deal with it!
I am a Hobbit..5'3" tall and lovin' my height!
I love JESUS with all my heart..He is my savior! I love my church, City Bible Church, and that's where God wants me to be. I work as a teacher at City Christian School..it's probably the best job for the experience. During the break I also work for Portland International Airport as their pianist. I go to Portland Bible College and live in the dorm..great place for the price.
My life is full of COFFEE! Yes..I can drink that stuff 24/7..I am addicted to it (not like Charity's definition of "addicted"..lol!) My life is also full of JAZZ (standards, british, fusion, funk,..anything!). I buy CDs (well..iTunes sometimes)! Combine those two together..and you got: Good Jazz Venue with Free Coffee :)
I am a geek (no really!). I am a random person. Combine those two together..and you got: Chris Pitoyo. I am into recording technology, and I know the stuff by heart. I am very geeky that I can give you answer to all of your microphones / EQs questions (Ok..I take that back! Maybe a lot of the questions, but not all of them). I am a musicians, and I play all of the instruments (well..a lot). I own a FBB Custom Bass (you bet it's a custom!), MTD Kingston Heir, Art & Lutherie guitar (with Cedar top..plays like heaven!), a 6 strings Ibanez that I need to sell, a vintage 5 stings Ibanez Musicians that I need to fix (or sell), a Roland XP-10 that got melted last semester, a British Brunswick acoustic that I need to sell, Selmer Bundy Alto Sax that I need to sell, and a Clavinova CVP-25 (I believe) that I need to sell. I just got a Trinity Pro-X (the 88 keys one..) with GarageBand Symphony Orchestra JamPack (they are freakin' sick!).
I have a MacBook..and I have this love-hate relationship with her. It is a good computer though! I also own a 2 GB iPod Nano that I got for free from purchasing my MacBook. I own a Treo 650 that helps me organize my schedules. I have a wicked Sony MDR 7506..and it sounds better than Jordan's Bose Headphone (big time!), and I own the Sony Mini Hi-Fi system (yes..their speakers are flat :)

My Interests

Recording Technology, Live Sound Technology, Custom Basses, beautiful yet cheap Pianos (both grand and upright), Condenser Microphones, SLR Cameras (photography in general, really), 1976 Porsche 911, Peugoet 206..Hmm..what else? I am into MUSIC..big time! I am all about making fun of people, giving people hard time, and making sarcastic jokes (yes..I'm trying to be like John Tarter)

I'd like to meet:


My future wife and thank her for things that she will be doing in our family. Next...I want to meet the Luthier of MTD Bass (Michael Tobias) and FBB Bass (Matt Schmill) and thank them for making the perfect basses throughout the years. Last but not least I want to meet Mr Rupert Neve and thank him for the British-EQed pre-amp. Oh...and not forgetting Mark and Beth McQuilken, the couple who invented FMR Audio and made RNC1773 (RNC rocks!).Oh...and one more person..I want to meet Steve McQueen and steal his girlfriend's Porsche :)
