SOLOS

CHRIS WATKINS

Chris Watkins

With his warm, colourful tones, performances around the world and his natural ability to entertain, Chris is one of the most vibrant performers to take to the stage in his generation.

At 25, Chris has already performed solo at The Royal Albert Hall in London and has amazed audiences in the USA, Italy, France and Japan with his performances.

Chris first embraced the violin at the age of 12, "An easy way to get out of French class", was his reason at the time. His love and passion for music developed almost instantly and within 5 years he had gained a place at the prestigious Trinity College of Music, one of the UK's leading music conservatoires. At Trinity, Chris studied under the guidance of Andy Sherwood, 'the crazy guy'.

During his studies, Chris entered many talent competitions throughout London and has claimed the top prizes in every one. This has led to him becoming one of the top cabaret artistes to work the London circuit.

Chris graduated from Trinity College in October 2004 and has had a busy schedule since. Bookings have included performances in Rome and Dallas for Toni & Guy, Television series, Weddings, Corporate events and a variety of cruises with lines such as Holland & America, Fred Olsen and Royal Caribbean.

Chris has made a dynamic difference to the music performed on the violin by introducing Marilyn, his sexy new electric violin. Performances include works from Bach to Abba. With his energetic performance, Chris's shows are ones not to be missed.
