Artist History Began multitrack recording in 1990 on a Tascam Porta-One. A long series of songs, from pure pop to jagged metal to ridiculous experimental, resulted from these solo sessions, which have brought me untold amusement. I got a better recorder (a Roland VS-840) in 1998, but have yet to use its full potential as a song-arranging tool.

Press Reviews "A churning black-tar morass of grunge that suddenly subsides to leave a rather spotless plateau - on which wistful daisies grow. An interesting debut from a suburban-bred explorer." - Rod Brinson, Hair Farmer magazine (review of "Claimed") ////////////// "A singularly sexy, boyish voice seduced me from somewhere between the speakers. Without realizing it, my shoes were off, and I found myself making excuses to get up and muck about the kitchen. An earnest reggae statement that says a lot about Chris' livication to the natural forces of romance and rootsy reggae." - Carina Fox, Beat Fox magazine (SIMPLE HAPPY DREAM review) ////////////// "He needs to redo the vocals." - John Palumbo
