"Music is my therapy. Life challenges but music is right there. I think it's kept me out of jail. Love is easy, but relationships are hard. One day you're laying on your couch channel surfing, and WHAM!! you're moving out of your own house. The funny thing is, I didn't really take anything when I left, but now, here I am with all this baggage."
Introduced to rock and roll by his uncle Ken. The Police and Van Halen were two bands heavily featured on Ken's turntable. In High school Chris began playing guitar with Dave Mummery and Neil Sideen, childhood friends, and began finding his own voice. Metallica and Iron Maiden were two bands heavily featured on the turntable. The next decade would see Chris play in original and cover projects, perform all over North America, once to an audience of thousands. Chris developed his skill while planting trees in the forests of northern BC, he was once shot at by the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) during some drunken debauchery while working in Wells BC. It was a divorce that would push Chris out to capture his unique voice. His first CD. "Left Behind". Left Behind has received radio play across western Canada and Chris has sold music around the world.
Post production completed at Water Sound Studios. Special thanks to John Bevis (Johnny) for all the support. I would also like to thank the guest players Cassandra, Michael, Rhys and Ian
Except you Rocko, I expected more from you. SLACKER!
