Chris Trevino
I never know how to introduce myself. All I can tell you is that you should listen to my music. Whether you love it or hate it, your opinion matters to me. I can't fix what I'm doing wrong if I don't know what that is. I might change something that doesn't need changing. Input from those who listen to my music is of great value. It helps me to grow as an artist.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I don't have much "History" so to speak. I have always loved music and singing.
Believe it or not, before I was a bad singer I was a bad rapper! Yes, Rap! I also sang R&B and some Country at the same time. After that I progressed into Rock and Alternative music, as well as Grunge and Punk. Which brings us to the present. Now I just sing whatever I feel like singing, be it Rock, R&B, Country, I'll even sing some Japanese song I heard in an Anime if I like it.
(Yes, I love Anime!)
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I do not currently play any live shows.
I do play live for my friends on the internet via another website though.
Your musical influences
I'm influenced by a lot of things, not just music. People in general are amazing creatures, with the ability to do great good, or great evil. I'm not really biased towards any one music genre either. I listen to Opera, Classical, Rock, Punk, Metal, Country, Rap, R&B, Blues, Jazz, Grunge, and about anything else I can get my hands on. I try to be my own person and I hope that it shows in my music.
What equipment do you use?
I play Ibanez Acoustic Guitars, and an M-Audio Axiom 61. The Guitars and Microphone run through a Yamaha MG10/2 Mixer then into my computer. The Midi Controller(Keyboard) is connected via USB. Vocals are recorded through Low End Shure Microphones.
I use Adobe Audition for recording vocals and guitars, and Propellerhead Reason for the Midi Keyboard. I also use CuBase and Magix Samplitude for random things.
