Artist description
Chromium are different; not instantly a known genre yet appealing to all for its uncharted territory, to be popular in its composition. layering ethnicity within a modern style together with ambient soundscapes, guitar riffs and tight drumming with percussive balance, they blend an instantly recognizable vocal and a reachable narrative together to form what chromium call divergence. Chromium is designed for a wide audience. An audience however that can also release itself into the music, to extract from it the opinions and elucidation it seeks. Great listening music? Certainly. Intriguingly idiosyncratic? Undoubtedly. The shine that conceals the shade? Chromium. |

Artist History
Chromium is an elemental force of composition. Drawing on extensive writing abilities in such genres as dance, ballad, pop and rock, the founding members of the group, Ricky Dumbrell and David England, have embarked upon writing a dynamic fusion of avant garde popular music. A subtle blend of the diverse and the mainstream: to captivate and intrigue. |
