Session Work

Chris’s excellent reading skills combined with his versatility, experience and ability to play many instruments make him an ideal choice for recording sessions.

He has recorded for jingles, TV shows, films, Broadway shows, albums, song demos, etc. in some of the best New York area studios including Avatar (formerly The Power Station), Bennett Studios, Clinton Recording Studios, Legacy Recording Studios, Premier Studios, Quad Recording Studios, Sear Sound, Skyline Recording Studios, Systems Two, Yellow Sound Lab, etc.

Chris also does recording from his home studio playing on tracks that people send him from anywhere in the world working on projects of all sizes and budgets.

Another great thing about Chris is that he is honest enough to let you know if he doesn’t feel like he is right for the project and will gladly recommend someone that will be a better fit.

If you want to have Chris record on your project contact him here.
