cool glasses Chris began playing musical instruments in elementary school in the 1980s all the way up through high school until he got his first electric guitar. After that he began to hone his musical skill on writing original songs that he played in many, many, MANY different bands in the Las Vegas valley. About 1998 he began to get in to the realm of electronic music thus spawning a desire to enter into the digital realm of production. In the summer of 2000 he formed his own record label subtechnics records so that he could start releasing his own music and help other Christians who needed a means to get their music published. Throughout the years he has learned the many intricacies of music recording and production as well as learning various recording programs. Using his formal training and a natural ear for composition, he has been able to create a unique style of writing music. In the winter of 2003 he was asked by Chad and Dennis to help with the soundtrack for Get Back, alongside Matt Klein from Studio56. After a few months of working together Chad and Dennis decided to ask him to come on board Faith Road as a partner for future projects. Chris hopes to continue to write music under his alias "fienix" and to use his record label as a ministry to help Christian artists to be able to release their music commercially and reach a global community of music loving individuals.
