Real name Christopher McHugh, close friends named him the 'Lycan' as he has an interest in the beast, and loves a challenge. He is one of the most determined people you could meet; a genuine person with direction, and is always up for a laugh. The Lycan is also the name of his solo music productions- Chris is passionate about all aspects of music (listening, writing and production). Success includes having a number 1 club hit, as well as having one of the biggest dance tracks of 2003 (that was also song of the week twice on BBC Radio 1's 'Dance Anthems'), to his name. Outside of his main role as a training supervisor for a distribution company, his main goal is to achieve commercial recognition with his music projects 'Astral-Music Productions' (A.M.P.). Chris is a big fan of Football (Newcastle United FC), and MMA (Mixed Martial Arts- 'Bisping' the UK King, 'Rampage' Jackson and the 'Pitbull' Alovski rule!).

With tracks (co-written) featuring on numerous top 40 compilations including MOS and Clubland to name but a few, as well as past music achieving 'number one' club status, the future is looking bright for this energetic individual, and music partnership. With several new projects in the pipeline, the audience have some good and exciting music to look forward to.
