Based in CT/NY, he first hit the scene in 2017 with the breakout band <a href="spotify:artist:18OEazUq5JWDhqIX0DBFUL" data-name="Hi-Fi Radio">Hi-Fi Radio</a> earning a cult following on tracks like #ROWYCO and #SweetChinMusic — riff-heavy, hook-driven anthems that put his sound on the map.

That influence powers his latest solo project, The Year of the Snake, dropping in 2025. The lead single Trade Winds Motel sets the tone — vintage-inspired, moody, and built for late-night drives and long flights.

Whether in the studio or on stage, Chris Q brings style, substance, and a sound that’s as global as it is grounded in classic rock ‘n roll. Fully independent, fully in control, and fully committed to the craft
