Chris does not only write his own lyrics but also writes many instrumental parts for his songs. He’s a real hand’s on singer-songwriter. This can be traced back to his reasons for making music. Chris Alain is not ‘trying’ to be a singer. He is a singer because has a strong need and urge to create music, because that’s his way to express himself.
Being the hands-on artist he is, Chris is most inspired by things that happen to him or he experiences in his own life. With creating music being such a strong urge, it is imaginable one wants to create most of it himself, and so he does. For many of the band’s songs, both vocal- as instrument lines have been written by Chris. Nevertheless, he also knows how to select the right musicians around him.
