Christopher was born in Lima Peru on January 12 of 1976. His interest in music began when he was 5 years old, when he went to Disney World and heard the “It’s a Small World” song and came back to his house piano and started playing it. That’s the way it all started!!!

He start playing piano at the age of 5 then he learn to play guitar and Peruvian Cajon, but he always wanted to play drums. His father was a drummer in the 60´s. He started playing drums at the age of 15. Chris took private lessons with a lot of teachers and studied music at the Music School and also studied Business Management on the University of Lima.

Chris started to play with many bands and solo artists to learn as much as possible about different styles and different approaches. The music of the people he was playing with helped him to see the drums through other eyes.

Chris loves progressive rock (Rush, Dream Theater, etc) and he thinks it gives a different perspective to play pop rock music. He is actually in a pop rock band called TK that has 2 CD´s. They also won 2 MTV Music Awards for Latin-America in 2003 and 2004 in the category Best New Artist Centra.

His favorite drummers are: Neil Peart, Mike Portnoy, Carter Beauford, Alex Acuña, Tomas Lang, Gregg Bissonette and Dom Famularo.

Chris uses Mapex Drums, Sabian Cymbals and ProMark Drumsticks.
