I love playing music and traveling, and playing music while traveling. I like hanging out with my friends, drinking good beer and eating good food. I love doing work with technical arts such as audio engineering, video production, photography, web and graphic design. I like to learn new skills and enjoy auditing college classes whenever I have free time. I love cooking, singing, playing guitar, driving fast, salsa dancing, meeting new people, going out to see live music, and relaxing in the sun (yeah, I know, Washington is not the best place for that)!

My parents, for not naming me Kit. Although I do enjoy eating, being named Kit Chen would have lost its humor really quickly. Thanks Mom and Dad!

About me: I am a happy person who leads a very happy life! I have an amazing family, awesome friends, and an adoring dog! I live in a house that I love, drive a car that makes me smile, and spend my days at a job that I enjoy! I also keep very busy doing freelance web design, video production work, teaching drum lessons, and of course, doing the thing that I love most in life...playing music!
I play drums and sing backup vocals in three up-and-coming Portland rock bands: Silversafe, Redshift and The Slants. Also, be sure to check out my personal music page, a page that I created to share my solo music with my friends…you will find studio recorded material, home acoustic recordings and even a music video!
