As a boy, Chris had a vision of himself onstage while singing and playing positive and upbeat tunes. Chris began playing guitar at 16 and has never looked back, playing covers at parties, busking his way around the world, and dreaming of creating a record. After a 5 year stint in Nashville working in television; Chris' life imploded and with nothing left to lose he packed up his gear and his dog and fulfilled a dream by moving to Santa Fe. While unpacking, Chris found a bucket list he wrote in high school. At the top was: "create a music album." He almost filed the list away, as he had done many times before, but a voice from deep inside stopped him. So with only two original songs under his belt, Chris decided it was time to begin by producing one of them. He had so much fun with the process that he kept writing and producing, until he realized, "Hey! I'm making that record." Chris's debut release "Shine," is now available everywhere music is sold. Chris is currently gearing up to go on tour after the fall (2013) release of his second studio album, "Living in the Now," featuring 14 new and original songs and produced by Grammy nominated, Emmy award winner Greg Barnhill. In his spare time, Chris enjoys hanging with his dog Chili, working-out, and hiking in the beautiful mountains of his hometown Santa Fe, New Mexico. www.ChrisChickering.com Booking@MusicForPositiveChange.com
