Chris Chrismond

Chris was born on February 19th, 1985 in Cleveland, MS. He grew up in Indianola, MS. He started playing guitar when he was 15 years old and wrote his first song shortly thereafter. At the time it was just a hobby, as he was not expecting it to become what he wanted to pursue for his life's work. Post-high school, in 2003, he went to Mississippi College in Clinton, MS. It was around his junior year that he found himself constantly writing music whenever he had the chance. It was at this time that his love for music grew beyond just a hobby. After graduating college, he moved to Carmel, IN, which is just north of Indianapolis. He moved simply to get out of Mississippi to search for clarity in his writing by experiencing a new place - as opposed to the cloudiness of writing he felt in MS. It is through moving away and finding a new perspective on writing that he really found that music needed to be his life. His influences include: Tyler Hilton, Ryan Adams, James Blunt, and the Goo Goo Dolls.
