Composer/Songwriter
Film scoring
Chris has his bachelor's degree in Music Composition after attending Mcnally Smith College of Music in St Paul, MN. Being instructed by the great Sean McMahon, he spent countless hours re-scoring trailers and gameplay, as well as putting music to movie scenes. This is what we have come to know as "film scoring".
Arranging & Orchestration
Chris spent a great deal of his time arranging and re-working pre existing music for various groups. He had private instruction from Adi Yeshaya, one of the best in the industry. The way his music is orchestrated and voiced is what sets Chris apart from any other musician.

Songwriter
Music & Lyrics
Songwriting is an art form like all music. It typically takes form in what we know best as a singer songwriter. Chris is the exception to the norm in this case. He writes countless songs, both music and lyrics together, with singers in mind for each song. Primarily a pop songwriter, he specializes in rock and musical theatre.
The unique combination of catchy melodies, potent title placement in his lyrics, and exceptional rhymes, Chris is a born songwriter before all things. He was taken under the wing of great songwriters like Brian Laidlaw and Jeremy Messersmith in order to tear down and rebuild his own songs into superior works of art.
