Having blessed the scene for over 10 years with his unique musical styling, Chris Dave’s musicianship defies classification and places him among the drumworld's best. His articulated beats, intrinsic rhythms and innovative inflections have gained him recognition as one of the most influential and prototypical drummers in the industry today. Chris has been around the world and back playing for and recording with some of music's most established and iconic artists.

Along with the many highprofile acts Chris is currently involved with such as Erykah Badu, Maxwell, and Mos Def, he is producing and releasing a highly anticipated fresh mixtape of tracks that the indemand hiphop drummer produced with live instrumentation. This mixtape features an audible range of progressive hiphop with a stunning juxtaposition of ambient electronic sounds against oppressive and authoritative drum grooves, for which Dave is known. It also showcases the range of Dave's dynamic collaborators in hiphop, R&B, jazz and neosoul.
