Christopher Strawley

I live in the southeastern region of Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia and for years, my passion has been music.  I grew up, the son of my school's music director.  

At the age of 16, I discovered that, contrary to my earlier opinion (after playing the trumpet for 8 years), that I in fact LOVE music.  Specifically, writing music and lyrics.  I started playing the piano and writing my own tunes.  

Over the years, my skills developed further.  As my skills became greater, as did my passion.  However, in late 2009, the tides that be brought waves of sorrow to my life and washed away all the passion I had come to know.  During that time, I yearned for my, then missing, love of music.  Sessions at the keyboard became a vain attempt and I grew ever discouraged.

In 2012, the tables turned.  A "moment of clarity" was had.  In a few brief months, I was at it again.  This time, my gaze was set on synthesizers and electronic music.  The wonderfully talented group "Black Moth Super Rainbow" had been inspiring me for years and I decided it was time to get back on the horse.  

For the last year, I've been trying my hand at electronic music and taking a new approach to music making.   So far, I think it has paid off.  I am ready to take it to the next level and I want to always remember what I have achieved.  Dry spells come and go.  So now, I will be cataloging my efforts.

I have high hopes for life and am excited to hear what the rest of the world has to say as well.

Thanks for reading!
Christopher S.
