Chris studied piano at a very young age before making a life changing choice which was learning how to play the guitar. After learning a bit of classical, Chris showed an interest in different styles like heavy metal music which got him to start gigging in France. After studying Music Performance in France, Chris moved to Los Angeles for three years studying Jazz at Musicians Institute, gigging and occasionally working as a session guitarist at Studio 56. Chris obtained a 1st prize at the Guitar Institute of Technology in Los Angeles and Tokyo, Japan. A two page article of the performance was published in Young Guitar and Gazette, known guitar magazines. After travelling a big part of the globe as a session musician, Chris settled down in the U.K. where he performed in many different bands with a wide range of styles.
