Brian Christopher Bangera
I am a Lead guitarist and producer from Bangalore, India. I play with a band called Chromatix. I have been with the band for 7 years now and I credit a lot of what I have learnt over the years to the band vocalist, Sandeep Boniface who is easily the best vocalist I have worked with.
I can also play the drums and keyboards but my knowledge with the drums and keyboards is mainly used when I arrange music and not for live performances. I am comfortable playing the guitar live. :) All the songs that you can listen to on my stations were produced by me alone at my home studio set up. The compositions are my solo projects.
