About Me

Music is worldlanguage
I believe in being as honest and straightforward as possible,it´s not always easy,i will not be judged only by my music, but by the small things. it´s the smallest things that will decide over a mans destiny ,a virus can completely change your life,a word spoken is a thought made real,and feelings hurt through a careless word will move people away and doors will stay closed-doors that were waiting for you to enter-- wide open. beauty,happiness -trauma and suffering are so close together,i must be happy when i can,it is a matter of inner hygiene,discipline of mind.i will keep my devil in when i can and accept love with an open heart,and i will not put my finger on the scars too often.
Here are some Press Statements and an explanation of my musical style:thank u mister for the nice statement!!The music of Chris Schermer & THE FONK is melodic ,acoustic roots pop,with good hooks but without baby baby schmalz, dirty without being sloppy, the music and lyrics dig deep but stay light and groovy.
The songs tell storys.
Acoustic sound with punch! For his songs the songwriter Chris uses influences ranging from folk to funk,alternative rock,reggae,blues and even hip hop.
Very notable is Chris Schermers special style of acoustic guitar playing-sometimes sounding like 3 guys at once.
The new album of Chris Schermer&THE FONK is in progress
