Chris's music could best be described as contemporary rock, a unique fusion of the textural complexity and melodic catchiness found in contemporary music and the bold guitar riffs and defined drum patterns in rock. Not too heavy, not too soft.

Details:
More than Words is a versatile CD, but the main vein of music is contemporary rock. Songs like "Welcome Tomorrow" are pop rockish, while songs like "Lead Me Home" are clearly ballad material. More than Words has something for everyone without losing identity because of too much diversity. Youth find it catchy and fun while adults enjoy the lyrical depth and melodic/chordal complexity each song offers. Musicians generally find the music appealing because it's not too easy, but not impossible, while still being fun to play.
Several songs from the album have received airplay in the states, as well as overseas.
