Hey there, I'm Chris! I appreciate you checking out my music. Growing up in Salt Lake City, UT, I was influenced by my musical mother, Paula Bjornn. When she started teaching my older brother Eric to play the acoustic guitar, I secretly decided to learn too, hoping to outshine him. Although he lost interest after a month, that was just the beginning for me. I dove into my favorite pop-punk and emo songs from the 2000s and discovered artists like Nick Drake, Bob Dylan, David Bowie, and Wilco, which greatly shaped my songwriting. Despite my evolution, I still hold onto the lyrical honesty of those early emo songs. I write, play, record, and mix everything myself in my cozy home studio in Dolores, CO, and when I'm not making music, I'm usually hanging out with my Shiba Inu, Roux.
