CHRIS BATES
- SINGING, GUITAR, SONGWRITING
Chris has been singing and writing songs for 10 years, both for himself and collaboratively with other artists. He studied Pop Music at Auckland University, where he met some of his current musical collaborators.
Chris comes from a background of playing the violin as a child and learning classical music theory, but made the switch to pop music when he was 13, and learned guitar and started writing songs and producing.
Since then he’s regularly been performing and releasing music, achieving radio success and recognition from industry heads such as NZ On Air and NZ Musician Magazine.
As a young teen he massively lacked confidence and struggled to talk to other people, but making music has almost exclusively been his way of becoming confident as a person. He has a strong passion for showing young people the creative outlet that is music. It’s an amazing way of expressing yourself, and he’s all about creating environments where that can happen.
