After graduating from the University of Miami with a degree in Studio Music/Jazz Bass Kris moved home to Atlanta and immersed himself in the local music scene. After a few years of playing around town he got the traveling bug and began his career on the road. Playing every venue from clubs to stadiums with jazz, country and rock artists, he understands the importance of versatility in the music industry.
Kris has released 4 albums under his own name and has recorded and performed on the electric bass, upright bass and steel guitar for many other artists over the years. These experiences create an atmosphere in each lesson that focuses on enjoying music above all else. Music theory is applied after the fact, as a way of explaining what has already, naturally happened. Ear training, playing along with your favorite recordings and jamming with other musicians are at the heart of Kris’ teaching style.
