HOW IT ALL BEGAN

Having grown up in a musical family with both his mother and sister as professional pianists, Christopher was given violin lessons at the early age of only 6 with the idea to introduce him to music. Christopher was soon given percussion lessons to teach him simple rhythms that would hopefully help him with the violin. It became apparent to his family that he was destined to stay in percussion, and has been playing ever since.
