CHRIS HAVENS

Producer

Musician

Engineer

Chris is a graduate from University of North Florida’s Jazz Program. He started his journey towards superior musicianship at the age of 8, taking drum set and guitar lessons. It was no surprise that Chris involved himself with each and every band program offered from 4th grade through College. He received a college scholarship by the Al Downing Tampa Bay Jazz Association for “Jazz Musician of the Year” and would go on to pursue his career in the arts. In the midst of taking classes and performing, Chris had begun building a recording studio in his apartment. At age twenty, Chris formed a music production team with long time friend Marc Smith, and was selling songs to small record labels across the U.S. Upon graduation, Chris moved back to his home town of Nashville TN, and finished building a recording studio that would bridge the gap between home studios and commercial facilities. Over the years, Chris has developed a style all his own by playing every single instrument in his elaborate arrangements. He has a tremendous amount of consideration for space and melody in music, knowing what not to play along with what to play. He produced advertizing sound tracks for TV that would go on to win Gold in the 2009 Addy Awards and Bronze in the 2009 Telly Awards. Today, he works hard to ensure that music publishers, advertizing companies, and artists have a safe haven to create, explore, and achieve their goals.
