Chris Munro - musician, songwrit

Chris Munro has been surrounded by music his whole life. He was born in Cape Town on the 29th of December 1981. From as early as 10 years of age he was singing in the local school choir, and started playing the recorder. His interest was melodies and music from the 60's and 70's and he started playing the piano and keyboard at the age of 11. He was a student at a local music school for 5 years and by the age of 15 he wanted to learn the guitar and start doing his own compositions. He started writing rock ballad songs and later formed a band in which he was the lead singer and guitarist. The band had local success and radio airplay. But after school the members went their separate ways.

Chris didn't stop composing and did a lot of instrumental music and production on his own using synths, samples and guitars. He was very interested in music production and decided to go study sound recording engineering at a college in Cape Town. During the course he got more interested in production and scoring for film and did a few scores for local student films and animations. In his second year he decided to form a new band with some of the songs he wrote after school. The band played a lot of shows and had a good following and recorded a few demos and EP's.

After Chris finished his studies he left the band and went to work in England. Chris kept on composing and started doing a lot of electronic based music, using all the instruments he could play combined with his own vocals and other samples. He did a lot of recordings, and started releasing the songs online on his website and through independent music sites. After he returned to South Africa he formed a new band and decided to record an album with his brother Martin, an experienced drummer and musician. They recorded the album for their new band Joint State, and started marketing it through independent means and through online distribution.

During the next few years Chris did numerous electronic productions which he compiled and promoted through the internet and at local clubs. In 2005, Chris got introduced to remix production and started doing remixes. He became a member of Sony's Acid Planet and entered 2 remix competitions from which he was the grand prize winner, receiving online promotion and numerous recording prizes. Two of his compositions have also featured in independent documentaries by US TV producer Trista Thompson.

Since 2006 Chris has been continuously composing new songs in a variety of genres, working on productions for other artists and performing with his band. He has built up a large repertoire of songs over the years and is marketing these songs as compositions for other groups/ artists, by any means possible.

Chris Munro is in need of a publishing company / agent, to manage, promote and market his compositions, productions/ songs. We need to get the material to the right people!
