Multi platinum, award winning music producer / songwriter. I've co-written and produced for Hailee Steinfeld, Zedd, Liam Payne, Daniel Ceasar, Tate Mcrae, JoJo, Jessie Murph, and Diana Gordon. Indie projects I've prod / mixed have over 1 billion Spotify streams and have been featured in The New York Times, The Fader, Pitchfork, and Rolling Stone.

Second time working with Chris. He helped me with the songwriting, provided multiple options and all of them were superb. He took my suggestions into account and improved the storytelling of the song. Seriously the only thing I didn't love about this project was the fact that I had to choose from the options he provided. Def would like to work with him again!

I reached out to Chris with a co-production task, and he turned the original instrumental into a radio-ready hit. He added a lot of new elements to the song and mixed them with the already existed ones to create the desired atmosphere of the song.
He not only delivered an awesome instrumental at the end, but he was also really easy to communicate with and fast. He always got back to me in a couple of hours!
Moreover, he really listened to all my ideas.
Highly recommended!!!

Chris is a world-class producer, songwriter, mixer, and musician. There’s no one I trust more with my art and music than him. I’ve collaborated with Chris for many years in many different capacities- he’s produced 3 EPs, co-written, and mixed countless projects. His vocal production is incredible and I’m consistently blown away with his dedication to helping artists achieve what they set out to make. Chris will absolutely not let up until he’s 100% happy with something and never compromises his integrity. He can work fluently in a multitude of genres. Golden ears!
