Born and raised in Glasgow by two classical musicians, Chris studied piano and viola before taking up guitar, bass, and drums in his teens, eventually studying music composition at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

After graduating he began work on his first album, writing and recording everything from home. His Mercury nominated debut ‘Architect’ was released in 2015 and after a spell of touring the UK and Europe he returned to his home studio and began work on his Twilight Zone inspired second album ‘The Midnight Sun’ which was released in 2016 and shortlisted for Scottish Album of the Year.

He supported Elbow on their UK and North American tour which led him to record his third album ‘Health’ at their studio in Salford with Craig Potter, which was released in 2019 and also shortlisted for Scottish Album of the Year. Chris signed to Bella Union and released his 4th album ‘Alluvium’ in 2022.

Following this he produced records for Scottish harpist Gillian Fleetwood, and Downton Abbey actor Michael C. Fox, as well as writing music for documentaries and orchestral commissions.

Chris’s new album ‘It’s Only A Love Song’ on Bella Union was recorded in his “new and improved” home studio and will be released in January 2025. He is also a keen artist and paints all his album artwork.

Flora Hibberd
Critics say ‘they are swept away by her deeply moving emotional presence’ and have called Flora ‘a marvellous newcomer in the realm of indie-folk’.
“A thing of beauty, the music of Flora Hibberd… whatever she’s put out this far is absolutely perfect” Cerys Matthews, 6Music.
