   About Chris Townsend

Photobucket

Hello Hello!!

Thanks for dropping by! I'm a singer/songwriter from the UK currently based in London but originally from near Bristol. I've only been at this music thing for a short while but I'm hooked already! I run this Myspace page myself, I don't have any big record label folks or managers or stuff like that so please bear with me about replying to comments and messages!

I have recently released my debut album entitled "Copenhagen". It's called that because I spent six months living in the wonderful city of Copenhagen in Denmark and wrote a lot of the songs on the album whilst I was there including the song "Copenhagen" itself.

I love acoustic/pop music, stuff with great melodies, catchy choruses and real musicians playing real instruments...know what I mean? My album is a collection of 10 tracks I wrote, some on my acoustic guitar and some were written on the piano. I then took them to the studio and worked with a top producer (Greg Haver) and some awesome musicians to add drums, bass and an orchestra (so cool!!) to turn them into rich full sounding songs.

If you like what you hear, please support indepedent musicians like me and buy a copy of the album (or even just download your favourite song on iTunes!). You can buy copies of my album from the following stores (both CD's and downloads). It costs different prices at the different stores but is cheapest direct from me in my official store!

iTunes

Amazon.co.uk

Amazon.com

Or you can get a copy direct from me (I ship worldwide) at my official webstore I take all major credit/debit cards. :-)

Please also subscribe to my blog for updates, news and my general ramblings if you like!!

Thanks again for listening in and for all your amazing support. It really means the world to me and keeps me making music....without you guys listening I'd have no-one to share these songs with.

Much love,

-Chris

p.s. I do my best to reply to messages and comments on here but sometimes things get on top of me and I can't! I do read everything though so please don't be offended if I can't reply! Send me your message again if you really want an answer to a particular question!!



SPREAD THE WORD!! Add my banners to your pages!! Please add these to your page and help me promote my music and spread the word on Myspace! Along with adding one of my songs to your profile it really does wonders helping me reach new people!!

FAQs!!

1. How old are you?

I'm 24 right now..my birthday is December 22nd.

2. Where are you from?

I'm from the UK, I live in the South-West, near Bristol but i also went to Uni. (college) in Sheffield. oh and I spent 6 months working in France (the alps) and 6 months studying in Copenhagen, Denmark! I now live in London doing the music thing!!

4. So how did you get into music?

Strangely I wasnt really into music properly until I was about 18...I had piano lessons when I was young and there was a flicker of interest but then after school finished I picked up a guitar and began teaching myself chords to Beatles songs and learning to play...writing songs came a little after and I was away.....completely addicted!

5. Do you write your own songs?

Of course...its the only way!!

6.How can I buy/download your CD?

You can buy my CD right here on my Myspace page..just click the links on the left side of the page. If you have a problem just send me a message and I'll get back to you :)

7. Who are your influences?

Look on the left side of this page..they're listed there!!

8. What do you like to do for fun? What are your interests?

Snowboarding, Skiing, Snow..in general...I like blending - smoothies and stuff...erm, i kinda like sports but my attention tends to wander halfway through a game, guitar and piano :P, driving...nothing like the open road, travelling..although flying is scary (piece of metal 30,000ft in the air!!)...friends, family...the usual!

9. What's your favourite song?

At the moment I'm really into Gavin Degraw's new album, Matt Nathanson's new record.....and also still loving Aqualung, Dave Matthews, Tyler Hilton and Howie Day. How about you!?!
