I have to say that the last twenty three years of music in my life has been a hell of a ride and I look forward to more. I look back at all of the people I have played music with from Norman Brown(when I was at Musicians Institue) to so many of my best friends and others. Most of my music career was based in Memphis,TN. That is My music home but Charleston,SC is my home, birthplace and where I lay my head. I have written alot of great music with alot of these people and shared so many great memories. I was reading on one of my old lead singers' myspace page about his thoughts and I have to agree. Music is one hell of a gift we have. It brings so much color to the world and our lives. Could you imagine if we didnt have that? I have been so fortunate to learn so much about this business and music itself and yet there is so much more to learn and share. I have recorded four cds of my own and take credit for others that I have recorded and produced and there is not a word that can describe the reward of something like that. it is an awsome feeling. Whether you sell one cd or millions, the reward is still the same. Alot of musicians have no idea how rewarding it is to write your own music. That is what it's all about! For the last ten years of my music career, I have been a solo artist and it has been the biggest creative freedom for me and I love it. Not only have I played rock but i have recorded and written techno, dance and electonica music and have gained an appreciation for music on many levels. Musicians Institute and Norman Brown gave me the gift of appreciating the emotion Jazz brings to us as well as so many other types of music. Many of my influences, such as Joe Satriani, Mick Mars, Eddie van halen, Jeff beck and several others have given me the gift of so much more and I can't thank them enough. I hope you enjoy what I have brought to the table and what I am about to very soon. Chris
