I treasure the times that I can work with Chrisse. She is a truly amazing artist, and an outstanding percussionist.

The thing that I love about Chrisse's music is the unique blending of traditional voices and instruments with contemporary soundscapes and grooves.

This is topped off, with Chrisse's soaring vocal energies!
