Chris Mantanz discovered his passion for music early on. At 6, he began taking keyboard lessons and gave his first concert at age 7. A year later, he added instruments like harmonica and flute to his repertoire. In March 2020, under the name "ChrNdra," he began studying sound engineering at Hofa-College, focusing on mixing and mastering, and completed his studies in March 2023 with a state-recognized Audio Engineer certificate.

During his studies, he also launched his career as a DJ, performing at open-air events, clubs, and festivals. His Peaktime Melodic and Driving Techno sets, along with original tracks, caught the attention of labels like "Amsterdam Techno Records," "BLOK," and "Stadtpalava Records." He has released over two EPs and several singles, such as "Motel" and "Wise Eagle," with more than 72,000 streams across 80+ countries.

In November 2023, Chris Mantanz fulfilled his dream by founding his own techno label, "Hamburg Techno Records," where he has since released 10 original productions.
