Bio
Seattle-area singer-songwriter Chris Stanley blends emotionally rich vocals with layered piano and guitar arrangements. Often compared to a modern-day blend of Peter Gabriel, Marc Cohn and The Fray, Chris’s music evokes a sense of nostalgia while offering something unmistakably new. Grounded in lyrical storytelling and timeless instrumentation, Stanley’s songs respectfully push against fleeting trends, favoring depth and human connection, over streaming numbers and online hype. His recent singles were recorded at London Bridge Studio with producer Eric Lilavois, featuring musicians from Heart and the Seattle Symphony, and have been played on radio throughout the United State, The UK and Europe.
Artist Statement
“The music I love speaks to the shared human experience with passion and depth. This is the space I live in as a songwriter, vulnerable and honest. There will always be room for music that makes people feel something real. That is my humble calling and the reason I keep going.”
