Chris first signed to Rated Records with his track "My Reflection Changes" which immediately caught the ear of Rated's fresh A&R, it was released 27th January 2023 and was to be the first of a number of releases for that year. In May 2023 his collaboration with the angelic voice of Pelany it the stores and was a huge success, a huge summer vocal anthem to say the least. He has also had success with remixes of Pulse Code & James Pound's trance Delilah and Polzn Bladz "AChoired Taste.
Chris has a real belief in Rated Records and a real passion for the future of the brand. Following many discussions with the label A&R it was agreed that in 2024 Chris would continue to work his magic with his uplifting sound, but for each release a Psy-Trance remix would feature on the release giving him total creative freedom. We can expect to see plenty from this artist throughout 2024!
Chris is a real pleasure to work with and we're really excited to have him on board!
