Chris Thomas has been a true force in the Radio and Production Industries for 12 years. Before nurturing his interest in audio, he centered on a professional level career as a violinist and trumpeter. Music has always been a large part of his life, from classical performing to jazz composing and performing. His passion and knowledge of the arts contribute to his success as a radio personality and production guru.
