A 5th generation musician who has a love for all styles of music, but was really attracted to the synthesizer when he heard early recordings of Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, Yaz, Depeche Mode & Trevor Horn. Chris having played and recorded in Canada and the U.S., originally started out playing keyboards in his fathers band and then quickly got the bug to investigate the local scene. Local newspaper ad “Keyboard Player wanted for Top 40 band” caught his eye and shortly after, he filled this spot finding himself playing along side now local legends Gordie Johnson/Big Sugar & Robert Wilson/Kim Mitchell. Chris also had the opportunity to produce music for television spots (Windsor Casino/Caesars, Canadian Vistors Bureau/Tourism, etc), radio and independent film. Chris has been programming music for more more than half his lifetime and still has a great passion for programming, sound design, creating music and visual media. Chris has helped many artists and musicians incorporate programming into many situations be it backing or visuals for live show and/or studio consultation. Including artists such as Donny Lyle (Mariah Carey, R. Kelly), Dan Todd & Mark Holmes (Platinum Blonde, Honeymoon Suite, Glass Tiger), Kenny Greer (Red Rider, Tom Cochrane, Gowan), Celldweller, Autumn Kings, The Tea Party and many more.
