We all have times we feel lost and can’t see the path before us. Chris Chickering is a singer-songwriter/producer whose songs shine a light on that path through messages of hope, healing and empowerment. Since 2012 he has recorded six studio albums: Shine (2012), Living in the Now (2013), The Resurrection of Me (2014), The Better Side (2015), Regeneration (2015), and The Hero’s Journey (fall, 2017).
Fueled by a desire to empower himself and others, Chris has always found music to be a refuge for guidance and inspiration, especially during his most challenging times. Growing up in San Francisco, Chris was influenced by artists like Cat Stevens, Neil Young, Train and The Rolling Stones, and moved by the humanitarian efforts of singer-songwriter Harry Chapin, to create his own unique message-driven music.

PERSONAL STATEMENT:
Music is my oldest friend, the one I could always count on to soothe my spirit and deliver guidance, especially during the hard times.
As a kid, I remember listening intently to the lyrics of great singer-songwriters like Cat Stevens, Neil Young, Jim Croce and Harry Chapin, and to bands like The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Doors and The Beatles, feeling peace and calm.
As a young man, trying to find my way in the world, I gravitated toward personal-growth books, programs and seminars to help answer the question,“Why am I here?”

Great music starts with great songs.

Since then they have co-written over one hundred songs and joined forces on five studio albums.
“MY MISSION IS TO UNITE AND HEAL HEARTS THROUGH MUSIC.”
