Hi, I'm cmon3tta (pronounced see-moe-net-uh) a.k.a. Chris. I'm a one man band: I write, play on, record, and produce all my songs, but I'm always up to collaborate. I like to collect quirky musical instruments and enjoy incorporating them into my music. I wear lots of hats, but it's totally not because I'm losing my hair (it is). I'm not famous, but I've worked with plenty of famous people (and people who think they're famous - zing!).
I'm not currently signed to a traditional record label as an artist. Instead, I like to operate independently while partnering with labels and licensing companies on specific releases.

I find write-ups to be cheesy, so I thought why not write this in third person?
First, 3 truths & 1 lie:
-Chris started his career in 2001.
-Chris is straight.
-Chris is an alumni of Berklee College of Music.
-Chris' work includes a wide range of creatives and companies, like Josh Server, PlayStation, Heidi Klum, Konami, Cameron Douglas, Xbox, MTV Logo, Iliza Shlesinger, Coco Peru, Ryan James Yezak, E3, thatgamecompany, Syn, Hulu, Netflix, Songs Music, and Marmoset Music.
Chris has been writing music since 1998. Lots of those first songs were embarrassing because he rhymed things like "maybe" with "baby" and wrote about being in love with girls. *shudders*
Although Chris officially retired from Hollywood in 2020, he continues to release music because it’s so financially lucrative for him. *This is sarcasm-I make a few hundred dollars a year*
Chris used to release music under two different names: Chris Eberlein & eberfyne. You can find music from those eras anywhere digital music is sold or streamed.

My home studio has been called a "treasure trove of eclectic, sometimes quirky, instruments and gear." I like to blend analog warmth, electronic edge, and world music textures to build my sound.
