Chris may be best known for his career as music professional and longtime member of the band Electric Six. After 22 years of performing, composing and producing, he’s earned a gold record; been featured on BBC and MTV networks; landed such influential festivals as Glastonbury, Coachella and Lollapalooza; received awards from magazines like Q and Kerrang! and a Best Album nod from the Detroit Music Awards. After working in Los Angeles as a freelance curator for Apple Music, Chris returned to his hometown of Detroit to work for Ascension Brighton Center for Recovery, and later Face Addiction Now (FAN). Sober since 2011, Chris formed Passenger Recovery in 2016 after experiencing first-hand the struggles that creatives in recovery face on the road. In 2018, he was awarded "Changemaker for Nonprofit" by Seen Magazine for his work with Passenger. In 2022, Passenger was accredited as a Recovery Community Organization, and is now supported through the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services as a Community Center, using music and the arts as a pathway to recovery from Substance Use Disorder.
