About Me
Christopher has been touring/performing, composing, recording, producing, and teaching full time for over 3 decades now. Chris was drawn to music at a very young age and as he describes it, “Music is my life” Chris has a visual impairment. But that didn’t stop him, actually it pushed him in the musical direction, “I see things more with my ears, so music extremely moves me”
Christopher wants to move people with the gift of music either playing or teaching.
Christopher’s musical style can be described as having a Classic Rock vibe while incorporating elements of Metal, Blues, as well as Modern Country into the mix.
Whether Chris is doing session work, touring or teaching perfection is key and wants to give back and share his skills and passion for the instrument for the next generation of young musicians.
Growing up Christopher was born into a musical family which were quite accomplished musicians. Christopher began his touring life at the young age of 13, playing in a popular cover band with his older brother. Chris was offered a full-time touring gig a few years later which he’s spent 15+ years showcasing his craft to audiences all around the world with his popular Original/Cover band Go Go Gadjet.
