  • Bio

    Born to a musical family, Chris Tuff grew up, besides of different countries, in Germany, where, at a very young age, was inspired by listening to records from Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Classical music, but most of all he discovered the world of sound&music by exploring and learning to play different musical instruments by himself, which were around in the house. He composed his first song on the piano at the age of seven and started taking classical guitar lessons for a few years when he was nine. Besides listening to contemporary pop/rockmusic he also sang in different choirs & on stage for the first time, as a soloist, at about twelve! This was the time, when he first recognized/heard R&B, Soul, Funk,... musicians like Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gay, Earth, Wind & Fire, Rick James, George Benson etc. and recognized a deep relationship to this sound and these musicians. As a multi-instrumentalist, but guitar as his main instrument, he made different experiences making music with others before he decided ,at around 20, to move to Munich, where he lived for a couple of years doing all kinds of jobs, but also playing in different bands and was known in various jam sessions. In 1999 he decided to explore the world, trying to get answers to the questions he had (and found!) ;O). This was the time he started writing music and lyrics intensively. Armed with his guitar he travelled through the US & different European countries for about ten years (including a few longer stops). During this time he made a lot of experiences making music with originals in diverse countries, like learning a bit of Flamenco from a Spanish Flamenco guitarist and a vegetable dealer (& a good guitar-player, too ;o) ) in Spain, how to play Ukulele on Hawaii, with a sharman didgeridoo-player,...etc. The intention to discover and understand sound&music in general was always & is a very important thing to him, like the sounds of animals, nature in general, human laughter,.... with the aim to write and to perform as authentic, true& honest music as possible; in a serious way, but also having fun doing it. He produced two CDs, unreleased. At the moment he's working hard on his new CD ("THE CD!"), and to come to the music/sound he mainly wants. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- ..more music's coming, soon! .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
