   About Chris Lesso
Chris began studying music on the piano at the age of 7, and received his grade 8 in classical piano through the Royal Conservatory at age 12. He began drumming when he was 9, and has never looked back. After gaining much experience performing and writing music in various bands, he sought out and took lessons from many world-renowned artists such as Dom Famularo, Ed Shaughnessy, and Jim Chapin, then going on to study with highly respected teacher and drummer Jim Blackley. Chris is currently studying jazz harmony on the piano. Chris' unique blend of hard rock, jazz, improvisational, and world flavored rhythms can be heard with guitarist Tony Springer, trumpeter Nick 'Brownman' Ali, pianist Steve Kovan, Brazilian drum group Samba Squad, and Chris' own original band 'The Factor', as well as various Top 40 bands, all playing around the Toronto area and internationally. Chris is a proud educator, teaching a full roster of students at his studio Rhythm In Motion, as well as holding regular drum events and clinics. He is a published author, writing articles for various publications including Canadian Musician Magazine, and has designed a goal centered curriculum for his students. Chris is endorsed by Sonor Drums, Vic Firth Sticks, and is a member of the Professional Drum Teachers Guild. The future holds an ever-improving output of energetic live shows and rhythmically intense recorded work, always drawing from a wide range of influences and styles. Chris also gives Drum lessons in his studio in downtown Toronto.

Thanks for adding me & a pleasure to have a new friend!

I saw you were a friend of Deepak Chopra's, so I thought you might be interested in a new healthy beverage and ground floor home-based business he's endorsing called Zrii, which features the healing Amalaki fruit from the Himalayas. I hope this finds you well.

Have a great week!
Wishing you peace,love,and prosperity,
