Kris learned to play the drums in Chicago area churches in the late 90's. His foundations were developed playing with a number of musicians and covering a variety of musical genres. Moving to Boston in 2007 was the beginning of a new era of his playing. Kris played with many local songwriters and bands in Boston before meeting the guys from Pile.
