Chris
Producer Bio
Chris Collins is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer who has worked in a variety of musical genres, including being a major contributor to multiple top-100 charting Country songs.
Chris started his musical odyssey in a genuine 80s band and played with several huge acts from that era. He was then baptized in the swampy funk and jazz of his long-time hometown of New Orleans where he was also a partner in a legendary music venue that frequently hosted Grammy-winning artists and was a notorious celebrity hangout.
Seeking a different brand of authentic cultural flavor, Chris relocated to the Ozarks of Arkansas and partnered with the immensely talented Cherise Carver, a gifted singer-songwriter from small-town Arkansas near the Texas border who has proven to be an authentic voice in Country music.
Over the course of his career, Chris has had charting success in multiple genres, had “sync” placements, played shows from garages to major venues, and has had the privilege of sharing the stage with artists infinitely more talented than he.
