There are at least three artists with the name Christopher:

1) Christopher Nissen is a Danish pop singer from Amager. He released his first single “Against the Odds” in 2011.

2) Hailing from Toronto Canada, Christopher, who found most conventions and current musical climates quite disagreeable, is a 3rd generation student drop out of Bela Bartok. Originally a classically trained guitarist, Christopher transmuted into a multi-ethnic dual gender vocal firestorm and fringe composer. The first incarnation was the 2001 release wer Next Projekt which according to writer Garry Sharpe-Young was “A truly remarkable piece of work.”

Fast forward 5 years of relocating, reinventing, whimsical auditions for Finnish metal bands, studio fires and floods, Smoke and Origination is released; a 68 minute opus that shares some of the same discordant ambitions Brian Wilson laid down in “Pet Sounds” back in the 60’s. Unlike the sunny disposition of Brian Wilson’s opus, “Smoke and Origination” documents urban sprawl and the cannibalistic homogenization of western life.


3) Another one of Texas’ wealth of interesting late ‘60’s psychedelic bands, Christopher came together in 1968 in the Houston area. Doug Tull (drums), Doug Walden (bass, vocals), and Richard Avitts (guitar, vocals) were the original members of the band, which was originally known as United Gas. Tull and Avitts, at the time playing in a series of R&B and soul-leaning groups, first met in 1966 when Tull sat in on drums with one of Avitts’ bands. Tull, however, was not as serious about the music as Avitts, leading to an eventual split. Tull developed a friendship around this time with Jefferson Airplane guitarist and Texas native Jorma Kaukonen, and, in 1967, invited Avitts to jam with them.
