You'd never know Sir Kris is still in the learning process of music making. The Bay Area DJ has built a nice little collection of simplistic yet striking palpitations, all layered with distinct California-sounding samples and synth strokes. These are good
Sir Kris (aka the Silent Monk) began his music career as a proud member of the Immortal Drunk Monks (formerly known as the Ninja Boy Crew)--a talented family of b-boys, MCs, and graf artists turned DJs mostly found wandering the streets of Hercules, CA. Although Sir Kris was the last of the Monks to learn how to mix and scratch, he would be a key player in widely representing the group's talents by performing at house parties, bars, clubs, and record stores. He soon started experimenting with music production in 1998, initially buying a drum machine to create break beats to scratch to. He later expanded his studio gear and began inviting the Drunk Monks and other resident rappers to flow over his fresh new material. Later joined by fellow Monk, Brian P., the two blended their distinct styles to create a newer Bay Area sound. After hearing nothing but positive feedback, and while Brian P. was temporarily doing other big things, Sir Kris began to take his new found talent more seriously, enrolling in Los Medanos College's highly regarded Recording Arts program to learn from GRAMMY award-winning recording instructors to help enhance his knowledge of the music business. Now, Sir Kris is running his own record label, Broken Loop Records.
