“Viral Animal”

What comes to mind when putting these two words together? 

Viral: Becoming very popular by circulating quickly from person to person.

Animal: Any such living thing other than a human being. 

The combination gives a vision of something fierce and unstoppable.  What a perfect concept when referring to the musical innovation and creativity of Damar “D Powers” Howard and Charlie “Rokman” Rhodes.

Already a respected solo musician in his hometown of Austin, D Powers has been using multiple outlets to promote and diversify the thriving Austin music scene for several years. Rockman started his career in New Jersey, and at an early age began working with the likes of R. Kelly and the legendary Al Green. Both D and Rok are accomplished songwriters, players and performers. 

Fast forward to a random meeting at Guitar Center in Nashville, TN. The infectious swagger of D and the brilliant pop sensibilities of Rokman collided, and the duo quickly began writing and recording. Incorporating street-smart lyrics with a solid musical foundation, the invigorating sound combines EDM (Electronic Dance Music), Hip-Hop and Trap Pop to form ground-breaking music that stimulates a party center in the listener’s brain. Viral Animal was born. 

The pair also act as a production team. All the production, instrumentation and sounds incorporated in the project were created by Rok and D themselves. Each has a diverse songwriting and production background different not only from one another, but from the Viral Animal project as well. 

Viral Animal's art, however, is not just music. It’s a lifestyle brand. The team has partnered with world-renowned fashion designer Johnathan Kayne to launch a line of clothing and accessories available later this year. They also have the vision of literally sharing their music with the masses. Through Brand Ur Band, the viral marketing and social media company D Powers founded, the team intends to revolutionize the way independent artists promote, interact and thrive.

Simply put, the art Viral Animal is creating stands alone. The lifestyle they promote is fun. And the way they prosper will change the way other independent musicians do things… forever.

Whether it's a heavy bass line underneath a bed of heartfelt lyrics and jazzy hip hop, or futuristic- downtempo beats that make you feel like your swimming in space, multi-talented Nashville based DJ/Producer/Artist Indie Chris is guaranteed to take you on whatever musical journeyyou're looking for.  

Born and raised in Nashville, TN Indie Chris has always had a deep love for music. Before he could even afford a set of turntables,  he often remembers in middle school putting in pain-staking hours making "mix cd's".

 "It had to blend perfectly, the entire cd from beginning to end had
to tell a story from track to track. It wasn't just a bunch of random
songs thrown on a cd. Everything had to make since. It's funny thinking
about that now, because that has a lot to do with the way I DJ and
choose tracks for my sets and for my albums."

        From these humble beginnings Indie Chris was not only able to finally purchase his own pair of turntables and mixer, but full on studio set up as well. This allowed him for full on experimentation with new rhythms and sounds, ironing out the craft of production and beat making, and producing the unique Indie Chris sound that is heard today.

The skills used today were honed living in Murfreesboro, TN for two years djing house parties, head shops, bars, clubs, virtually anywhere he was allowed the opportunity to do so on an almost every day basis.

Within the next year he moved back to Nashville snagging a slew of residencies in prime Nashville clubs, has released two Mixtapes in two completely different genres of music, ("The
Perfect 10"){Hip Hop/4th Stanza Collective}, ("Mashed Potatoes Vol.1 THE REMIX/THE MASHUP"){EDM}, and has held a string of collaborations with the hottest up and coming artists, collectives,
and DJ's in Music City Nashville.

Currently Indie Chris is working on his 1st debut release on House of Wax Records set for the early part of 2015. The project is entitled, " Still…Life… A Look Deeper".

With all the collaborations, projects, and business ventures you can't but help notice the passion and love that he has for anything he chooses to take on. Therefore, staying true to his art and his name as Indie Chris...
