About meChris Henderson

In the beginning

My introduction to playing began at the tender age of 8, in the form of piano lessons, which my mother made me go to for 3 long years. I didn't take to the piano too well. The likes of Tie A Yellow Ribbon, Oh Suzanna and Home On The Range failed to spark any sort of excitement in me! My tutor had a habit of falling asleep during the lessons and I didn't really care……not a winning combination for any sort of progress. I was also told by the school music teacher that I was not musical………funny that!

From then to NOW

How everything changed when one night my uncle arrived at the house with his electric guitar and an amplifier. He sat and played me his latest riffs, not very exciting I must admit until he flicked a switch on his amp. I felt like someone had plugged me into the electricity supply, that sound, coming loud and proud from that magic box, every hair on the back of my neck stood up. I knew from that moment what I wanted to do for the rest of my life……

Shortly after that introduction, I was given an electric guitar for my 12th birthday and practised between 7 and 8 hours everyday and go to my bed dreaming of the light filled stages, huge audiences and me and my guitar.

Back To Reality

Well my childhood dreams came true, I've played to thousands of people on light filled stages and it's cool, but it doesn't end there! I now have new dreams to fulfill and one of them is exactly this - reaching an audience for my music across the NET excluding the huge, hungry, cold beast that is the record company and supply my music direct.

Chris HendersonWhere Am I Coming From?

One thing that I've never been able to do is categorise my music, to pigeon hole all my songs into one style, as quite simply they won't fit one style! How I hate the old question "What style of music do you do? Oh come on, you must know what style it is!.." To answer that question…..I don't just eat apples, I prefer a more varied diet! The thing is that I've played in so many different bands with so many different styles, that I couldn't just stick to playing one type of music. Anyway who wants to eat nothing but apples for the rest of their lives. I'm like a sponge soaking up the many influences from the guitar heroes like Hendrix through to classical, to dance and on and on…..and when you squeeze the sponge it isn't just the one thing that comes out, it's a mixture.

So please check out what I've done, take what you want and by all means leave the rest behind, quite a good philosophy for life methinks……………!

Have fun
