A native Texan, Cris moved himself to Los Angeles and built a career in the creative arts with unrelenting determination. Equal parts self-starting entrepreneur and versatile songsmith, he developed his skill set as a topline specialist, vocal performer, and composer, working behind the scenes with Paramount Pictures, Sony, Nickelodeon and Riptide Music Group, among others. Hodges is currently touring vocalist for Grey Daze (founded by Linkin Parks’ Chester Bennington and Sean Dowdell). As a solo artist, Cris Hodges summons Queen's theatricality, diversity, and showmanship, the soul-laid-bare confessionalism of Janes Addiction, and the dynamic bombast of EDM. Each of these elements converges through the prism of his triumphs, tragedies, and motivation.
