Multi-Instrumentalist, Bandleader, Musical Director

Snoop on my CV

Hi, I'm Chris!

I'm a multi-instrumentalist based in London, England. I play bass guitar, double bass, fretless bass, synth bass, piano, keyboards, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and a few others (and I'm always excited to try new ones!)

I've performed in every setting imaginable, both on and off stage, from large-scale touring productions and top function bands to indie theatre and intimate fireside acoustic performances. I'm also an experienced musical director and bandleader, having built and directed bands for a wide range of artists and productions and taken on bandleader duties for some of the biggest agencies in the country.

If you'd like to work together I'd love to hear from you! Please email me at [email protected] or use the form on my contact page.
