Bio
Chris Chandler
Love, anger, passion and pain. These emotions are elicited when listening to the Greats such as Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, and Michael Jackson. Well, get ready to feel those emotions all over again. Chris Chandlers smooth voice takes you to places that you will not soon forget. Inspired by the creative geniuses mentioned above, this Chicago native managed to capture these raw emotions in his debut album. Lifestylz Vol.1, is a Neo-soul/Hip-Hop production with timeless lyrics, and engaging music. Chris is on the path to being a great writer/producer in mainstream music. Chris explores the full spectrum of R&B with ballads such as "Just U", "Be Easy", and The "Thought Of U"; a powerful duet with soultress Juanita Wynn. Just when you think the album is all about the ballads, he switches it up and sophisticated, lyrical hip-hop tracks fill your ear. The Hip-Hop inspired title track "Lifestylz" featuring Headcrack is a ghetto anthem about temptations of life in the ghetto. "Keeping it Gangsta" with Psycho Les of the world famous "Beatnuts" on production, is a powerful soliloquy about the pitfalls of living a life of crime. Lifestylz Vol.1 gets the party jumping with the hit "What U Gone Do" a sexy summer smash that is sure to be a club banger. Powered by strong musical family background, Chris is able to be a multi-faceted artist that composes, sings, writes and produces on his debut album. Chris honed his writing and production skills by working with the World Famous Beatnuts on 3 albums and lending his vocals/ writing for Rawkus Records. He gained performance experience from touring and performing with the "Beatnuts", "Soulive", "The Fire Department", and Greg Nice. His approach to producing and song-writing is both disciplined and widely creative. For Chris Chandler its all about the right vibe and he seems to have found it with Lifestylz Vol 1. He bridges the gap of todays Hip Hop generation with yesterdays music legends. Smalldreams Entertainment Inc. is a new indie label making the dreams of talented artists come true. We currently have projects in Hip Hop, R&B and Movie production in the works. The first release on this independent label is Chris Chandlers Lifestylz Vol.1, a classic R&B/Hip Hop album that captures the essence of yesterdays R&B legends with todays lyrical Hip Hop.
