Two of Chris’ original songs appeared in the film “Amreeka” which was a jury selection for the Sundance Film Festival and won the Fipresci Prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 2009. Chris’ music has received critical acclaim from the beginning of his career. The title track from Chris’ debut CD, Motivación finished in the Top 10 of the World Music category (out of 25,000 entries) in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest. Chris is the musical director for CALO FLAMENCO, Ballet de Martín Gaxiola.
