About Me:
In the 80's, Chris began studying jazz with many well-known and respected University of Miami players, including
John Defaria, Mitch Farber, Andy Most, Tim Calhoun, and Glenn Minneau. Lessons didn't come cheap, so Chris was forced to keep his day job and take on other odd jobs to pay for lessons and gear.
After high school Chris was accepted to the prestigious Berklee School of Music. He left Berklee to study with esteemed University of Miami professor Randall Dollahon "The Professor" taught him voice leading, reading, ear training, rhythm guitar and lead guitar, as well as the basics of preparing for playing in live and session situations.
While studying with Randall, Chris soon began getting calls for session work that included all styles of music: rock, blues, country, jazz, fusion. During one lucky session, Chris was introduced to a female singer who later became his wife. Looking for a place to settle down and build a family, Chris moved back to the birthplace of his mother and grandmother, Nashville, Tennessee.
Musically, it meant starting over with new styles to add to his repertoire (bluegrass and C&W music). Nashville and its wonderful people have embraced Chris and shown him his true calling. He is currently working towards continuing his music studies and pursuing a teaching degree so that he can help train others to achieve their dreams and share with them the joy that music has always brought into his life. Chris has recently joined ASCAP and now Nashvillerocker® is registered under ASCAP writer/Publishing
