An impressive career that culminated in him becoming Britain’s first Olympic diving champion, winning the gold medal at Rio 2016. Listening to Deadmau5 between dives, music was always on the brain for Chris – so after a record-breaking run with team GB and an MBE, Chris retired from the pool and transitioned into a completely new career. After immersing himself in the studio, Chris’ first major break came with producing the gold certified, top 5 radio hit ‘No Therapy’ for German superstar Felix Jaehn, amassing 90 million streams on Spotify alone. Since then, he’s written and produced for some of the world’s top talent; Including Meduza, Vintage Culture, Elley Duhé, the Vamps and Steve Aoki to name a few.
