“Chris didn’t just help OUTDrejas get better shows—he helped us stop playing to the bartender and start playing to actual fans. Thanks to his hustle, our Spotify plays are climbing, our crowds are louder, and we no longer have to beg our moms to come to gigs (though they still do). Chris gets it, he cares, and he somehow makes the chaos of being in a band actually feel like a plan.”

“I know I can count on Chris to tell me the truth- about my music and the music business- and help me get the most out of my talent and promotional budget. Plus- he is very fun to work with.”

“Glad I met Chris at the beginning of my music career, and not in the end or the middle. He has saved me countless heartaches and headaches. Weeks of surfing youtube videos that may or might not have been relevant, can be covered in one hour with Chris. It’s nice to have a friend, mentor, guide…with mountains of experience and knowledge. If you’re trying to navigate the vast sea of the music industry, do yourself a favor and spend some time with someone who’s sailed these waters for 30 years.”

“I first met Chris at a music conference and I could tell right away he had a deep knowledge of the music industry. I booked a call and he gave me much needed clarity to help me move my career forward and is continuing to help me grow as an artist and as a person. I would recommend to any artist serious about their career to tap in with Chris and have a meeting to see how much he has to offer.”

“Working with Chris has been transformative. He’s helped me go from being frozen in my music career- paralyzed by fear and self doubt- and helped me become confident, and create plans and forward momentum. Chris is always doing whatever he can to help artists in every way and I’ve never seen anything like it. Highly recommend!”

“Chris’s expert, from-the-heart, and honest advice helped me take my next single, ‘Worship at the Chappell’, to a place that has pushed my recording performance and production to levels that I didn’t know were possible. I now understand what being fully present in my songs means, and I am excited to apply what I’ve learned to my work moving forward. His belief in me- a result of his actual study of my music and career- and his attention to my specific questions have steered me to making sustainable and powerful decisions in marketing and overall business strategy as an independent artist. I will continue to seek out Chris’s help because of his true love for music and his honest, no bullsh*t commitment to serving artists to the absolute best of his abilities.”

“Navigating through the music biz can be both confusing and overwhelming.  Aside from that,  there are plenty of people that promise and never deliver.  Chris is one of the honest professional ones who can evaluate your goals and create a gameplan that’s contoured specifically to the type of artist you are.  He’s a great listener and is very receptive and communicative in actively helping you reach your goals.  Working with Chris has been a blessing for me.”

“Chris made pitching our music way less confusing and showed me how to review playlists and markets. His real-world tips and stories on music world and marketing were super helpful and gave me the confidence to promote my songs the right way.”

“Chris has been really great to work with the past three months and his exposure to a wide range of music makes it incredibly easy for him to provide detailed feedback on my music. Furthermore, he has a lot of attention to detail and can easily find references that help you understand what he is hearing. All this to say, if you need a pro to help guide you on your music, Chris is your guy!!”

“The music landscape can be hard to navigate.  Most independent artists struggle to develop a strategy that helps them get their music heard.  That’s where Chris comes in.  He’s got great industry experience, he’s on top of what’s working out there and what isn’t, and he’s an objective listener who will give you honest feedback while trying to help you find the best path forward.  He was great to work with.”
