One of the best kept secrets in the music business is singer/songwriter Chris Himel. For Over 12 years Chris has been writing and playing the local scene in southern Louisiana. In February, 2003, he released his first album, "One For Me".
Chris was born and raised in Lafayette, Louisiana. Growing up there, he was introduced to a variety of music and culture. From country to classic rock, from cajun and zydeco to rhythm and blues. These styles can be heard in his music. Some of his influences include: Conway Twitty, Merle Haggard, Elvis Presley, Tim McGraw, Keith Whitley, Garth Brooks, and The Eagles.
Chris always showed interest in music, and at the age of 21 he decided to pursue it. He showed interest in the piano, so he bought a $79 keyboard and started teaching himself. He also had friends that played in local bands, that helped him learn. Not long after he started learning how to play music, his creative side became involved in music. He started experimenting with writing his own music. Along the way, he picked up on guitar. Since then, he's written and co-written over 100 songs. He's played in such bands as: Square Deal, Double Shot, Heartland, Damon Troy and Louisiana Beat, Mudslide, 2 for the Road, and Diamondback. And now his new band, Outbound, has formed and is doing shows through out the Louisiana Area.
His second album, "The Other Half" was released in 2007 and is now available.

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks
Christian
