Chris started getting into rock and roll at 8 years old, listening to his brother’s records, and his Mom was a rock and roll music lover as well, who bought him his first new album when he was 13 years old, “The Original Soundtrack Recording of Tommy”.

As a teenager he got into partying, and hard rock was the soundtrack to his life. Aerosmith, Van Halen, Ted Nugent, Black Sabbath, Rush, Led Zeppelin were the greatest bands ever. 

In 1978 Chris attended his first concerts. Blue Öyster Cult, UFO, Pink Floyd, Cheap Trick. Too many to list here. To be a rocker was his dream. 

In the early 80’s Chris got into punk rock and metal. His favorite bands were Black Flag, Dead Kennedy’s, Circle Jerks, Metallica, Slayer, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest. 

In the mid 80’s Chris joined his first band “New Horizon” as the lead singer. Mostly just jamming and house parties.

While living in Indio, California, Chris jammed with a variety of bands, including a “Dream Theatre”, “Marillion” type progressive band. Doing open mic nights at Palm Springs locations. 

In ‘94 Chris’ wife bought him a used acoustic guitar, custom strung left-handed, for his birthday. He taught himself to play by reading from a Beatles chord book, since he knew just about every Beatles song by heart.
