The Christopher Complex takes you on a musical excursion with his Funk rooted band Optimus Funk singing tunes from his previous released EP “Let’s Go” along with new tunes, such as "Pineapple Dreams" and "Cool", that are live and in your face.
The Christopher Complex built his foundation upon elements stemming from his influences Parliament Funkadelic, James Brown, Prince, Miles Davis, just to name a few. His music can be described as "FUNK 2 ROCK your SOUL", overlapping borrowed styles from other music genres across generations.
The Christopher Complex recorded and released an EP, entitled “Let’s Go”, which includes the lead single “Hottie”. Not a stranger to the stage, The Christopher Complex performed his solo act over a “Hottie” instrumental track. The vision for his songs were to be performed by a live band, thus the birth of Optimus Funk.
Optimus Funk is comprised of amazing musicians “My philosophy in choosing musicians was that I wanted them to include themselves in the project as opposed to being just supportive of a lead singer. That’s what I asked for that’s what I got in Mark Anselm, rhythm guitarist. Mark brings so much of himself which colorizes the rhythm with his own sound without distorting the original song. Travis Calvert, tenor saxophone, who composes a topping of horn melodies that add the right amount of sugar to the Funk. Brandon Reevey, tenor saxophone, fattens the horn harmonies with a sophisticated grace. And Eldon Simms, drums, dynamically pushes the groove into the pocket, at his best, drives the band to the point where the energy is , all of that while locked into what I’m doing or about to do,” The Christopher Complex explains excitedly.
The ultimate vision is to put a twist in today’s music by bringing feelings, mystery and excitement back into music and into live shows: raw energy, in your face mentality while caressing you with a smooth, yet some times gritty vocal delivery in clever lyrics.
