experience performing and writing music in various
bands, he sought out and took lessons from many
world-renowned artists such as Dom Famularo (World
Clinician), Ed Shaughnessy (Johnny Carson Show), and
Jim Chapin (Famous Educator), then going on to study

improvisational, and world flavored rhythms can be

and Chris' own original instrumental band 'The
Factor', (wwww.myspace.com/thefactortoronto),

recorded work, always drawing from a wide range of
influences and styles.
