Details:
Chris was trained intensely as a classical musician since age 6 and has focused almost entirely on the piano. He has studied piano at the Cincinnati College - Conservatory of Music, Univ. of Michigan, the Interlochen Center for the Arts, Central Michigan University, and Wayne State University. His teachers have included Steinway artist Dr. Louis Nagel, Telarc Records Recording Artist Michael Chertock, Portuguese Concert Pianist Dr. Alexandra Mascolo David, and Dr. Arvi Sinka, among others.

He has an extensive classical and jazz piano repertoire as well as his own catalog of original rock songs written between 2001 and today. These are available on his new EP "been there before." Chris has also performed with many of Detroit's leading bands and artists including The Profit , Kathleen Domish, and Midtown Underground

Recently Chris has toured throughout the Midwest and South at venues, halls, colleges, and clubs in cities such as New York, Chicago, Detroit, Columbus, and Mrtyle Beach. Some of his most noted performances have been at the Arts-Beats and Eats and JAMbalaya Festivals in the summers of 2003 and 2004.

Chris is often compared to Bruce Hornsby, John Mayer, Ben Jelen, and the Dave Matthews Band. Many followers note that the vocal style somewhat reflects Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins.

Recent downloads off the new album "Been There Before" have reached well into the thousands with critical acclaim.
