Kris started playing music at a very young age, and when he was 10 years old, he joined the school band. There he played the trombone for 6 years, and started to learn the guitar at the age of 14. It didn't take long before there was a need for a bassist in his local tensing choir, so he joined in. When he was about 16 he joined a blackmetal band, and after that he went to college/highschool for music. During this period he was a bassist and backvocalist in a band called FoxJam. Kris has always had his own projects on the side, and he loves composing film scores for orchestras. His main goal and purpose in life is to play as much music as humanly possible, and master all the genres and styles.
