Born and raised in New Zealand by a barbershop-singing father and a Sunday school-teaching mother, music became an important part of Chris’s life from an early age. What started as classical piano lessons and renegade lyric writing during high school math class has become a seasoned, eclectic blend of music, melody and life. Based in Los Angeles CA, Chris Skaggs can be seen playing his brand of intelligent pop/rock at local venues like TRiP, The Mint, Cordiale Café and numerous acoustic settings.
