BIO:
From the majestic Rocky Mountains of Canada - Folk Rock/World Beat singer/songwriter CHRISTOPHER is uplifting and inspiring fans across the globe. Fans describe him as a “modern day troubadour” and liken his music to “Cat Stevens with World Music influences”.

CHRISTOPHER has performed in India, Nepal, Australia, Peru, Kenya, Costa Rica, the Philippines, the United States and Canada. A highlight of his career was performing at the Canadian embassy in Manila, Philippines.

CHRISTOPHER stands out not only with his unique, soulful songs, but also his astounding vocal range and intensely passionate performances.

CHRISTOPHER graduated with honors from the Musician’s Institute in Hollywood, California (where he was nominated most outstanding vocalist). Christopher also co-produced his album, ‘Song of the Angels’, with Michael Vail Blum at Titan Studios in Los Angeles, CA. Blum, as you may know, is the multi platinum awarded producer/engineer for Michael Jackson, Madonna, The Who, Pink Floyd, Steve Perry, Kenny Loggins, Peter Cetera, Julian Lennon and countess other artists who’ve shaped our popular musical landscape. CHRISTOPHER studied with world-renowned classical/opera voice instructor Blaine Chapmen.

CHRISTOPHER is a citizen of the world – Born in Guyana of East Indian-Bengali, Ukrainian Gypsy and Royal Polish descent. Much like his ancestry, CHRISTOPHER’s musical style is eclectic. One song is in Swahili utilizing African world percussion, some have Native American flute, others Latin, acoustic and electric guitars, gorgeous orchestrations and another tells the story of his grandparents’ great love in Poland and their perilous journey to Canada. CHRISTOPHER’s songs are plucked straight from the pages of his most intimate diaries.

CHRISTOPHER is on a mission to share his music with the world. He endeavours to unify people through the power of his music.

CHRISTOPHER also believes in giving back. He has taught music to special needs children and has also shared his musical gift with convalescent and children’s hospitals, orphanages, and prisons the world over.

CHRISTOPHER often shares the musical stage with his sister, Natasha. Their classically trained voices create a melodic mosaic that is incomparable. CHRISTOPHER also produces other artist’s music and is currently recording ‘Prince & the Gypsy’, the follow-up to his critically acclaimed album ‘Song of the Angels’.
