Coming from a musical family background, Chris took an interest in music right out of the gate. He joined his first band, “Heavy Get Go” and through 2008-2013, they recorded 2 albums and played some local shows in Saskatoon.
While working at a restaurant, he met Charles “Lord Funk” Taylor, a staple in the Saskatoon music scene. He joined Lord Funk’s house band at Somewhere Else Pub for several years and took his musicality skills to a whole other level.
Chris then joined forces with Pete Oldridge of The Great Fuss and helped to grow that band in the local music scene.

Chris jumped at the opportunity and he's been a part of the Steadies family ever since.
