HELLO, WORLD.
Look, I'm a real person.
cmon3tta (pronounced see-moe-net-uh) is the musical alter ego of an indie singer/songwriter named Chris.
Think of him as a one-man band who wears a lot of hats (literally and figuratively, but not because he's losing his hair) because he basically does everything himself, although occasionally he collaborates with other vocalists, songwriters and producers.
he isn't famous by any means, but he's worked with plenty of famous people (and people who think they're famous).

I find write-ups to be cheesy, so I thought why not write this in third person? Great! So here goes...
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 and Iliza Shlesinger.
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 working in the industry 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 PERFORM AND release music under two different names: chris eberlein and eberfyne. you can find music from those eras anywhere digital music is sold or streamed.
