A native Virginia Beach VA resident born in 1981, Chris Kringle was introduced to hip hop at the early age of 5 years old. His uncles exposed him to legendary hip hop figures such as RUN DMC, LL Cool J, and the Fat Boys (just to name a few). Chris Kringle continued to listen to hip hop and started freestyling and writing rhymes trying to mimic his favorite emcees. In high school he started to get interested in producing so his mother bought him his first drum machine (Alesis SR-16) and a year later he quickly upgraded to a Boss DR-5. Kringle stayed busy sharpening his lyrical and production skills by switching up his style and becoming more diverse by experimenting with different keyboards and drum machines spending countless hours in Mars music and Guitar Center. In 2004 Kringle became fascinated with sampling and purchased a Yamaha SU700 sampler. He started going out less and focusing more on the musical talents he was blessed with. Learning how to craft banging beats and formulate creative songs, he found a fitting unique sound that separates him from the rest. Now balancing lyricism, production and owner of his own entertainment company (Black Intelligentz), Chris Kringle is a force to be reckoned with! Now his production tool kit includes the Yamaha Motif ES6, Akai MPC 1000, EMU MP-7, Nuendo 4 and various VST instruments.
