Guitar, Drums, Bass & Vocals

Touring drummer for Crash Adams and a Los Angeles session guitarist, bassist and English-language vocalist. Folk-pop is my home base: expressive acoustic parts, electric textures and solos, and a rhythm section that serves the song. Hear my playing across every instrument on Portland, Funeral and I’ll Try.

I'm Chris Cariddi, a Los Angeles session musician and touring drummer for Crash Adams, with guitar contributions to their recordings. I also teach guitar, drums, bass and vocals at School of Rock.

Folk-pop, acoustic and singer-songwriter music are my home base, with experience across pop, rock, country, funk and more. I record guitar solos, rhythm parts, fills, bass, live drums and English vocals, choosing parts and tones around your song.

Electric guitar options include hollow-body, semi-hollow-body, Les Paul-style, Strat-style and Tele-style sounds, delivered as DI or amp recordings. Acoustic sessions capture one performance on three microphone tracks. My vintage Gretsch drum sessions deliver separate, unmixed mic tracks for your engineer.

On my songs Portland, Funeral and I'll Try, I perform guitar, bass, drums and vocals. Portland highlights lead guitar and electric tones; Funeral features acoustic playing; both also showcase my rhythm-section work.

Live credits include Crash Adams, Shawn Desman, Akintoye, Yung Dyl, LIV, Oliver Cronin, Lola Amour, MICO, Lil Dee, Alejandro and KTJ & CARLY. Shared bills include Sugar Ray, Neon Trees, Big Time Rush and Hayes Warner.
