Calm and serene, the city 'okene' in
northern Nigeria state of kogi, a dedicated parishioner daily rings the bell of
saint Andrews Anglican church to the parishioner's delight and gratitude for
another day, and on this fine day of august 20th a star was BORN. Held by his mother’s
hand as she dedicatedly attend choir rehearsals, he blabbed to the hymns and
songs as they rehearsed, nodded, staggered and danced with them till he was old
enough to stutter the hymns and sing them.
How he loved music so!! Music was short
up in his bones and at every stage he was available to his passion. He sang in
the choir through his teenage years. He relocated to Lagos(Nigeria) soon after
and joined Christ embassy in 1995.there he received the baptism of the holy
ghost and a sea of musical opportunities and personalities opened unto him, he
soon became the church's response to Wanya Morris of "boys to men"
with his wonderful vocals. Found a way with the drums but went ahead to master
the keyboard, and ballads symphonies soon began to flow.
He became the music coordinator of his
local church ( Christ Embassy Isolo) writing beautiful worship and praise, soul
lifting songs. He organised concerts, seminars and had tremendous success. He
wasn't going to stop there even as he decided to pursue his passion
professionally. He took a course at the muson school of music and the
university of lagos. then bit by bit he became a guru in production and went
ahead to open a studio and has since been involved in production. He has worked with renown singers like
onyeka owenu, Infinity, Obiwon ,Obi shine, Samsong, Frank Edwards, Eben, Jmartins,
etc though he still found time to vocalise. but this good looking six footer church
boy only desires to use his voice for the masters use. He wrote more inspiring
worship songs and remained opened to more knowledge and he kept building his Christian
materials and musical library and kept at his commitment in the house of God
with delight. There he met and married his friend the lovely wife. Meet CHRISTOPHER SHALOM singer/writer/composer/producer/minister and a budding publisher[the Gospel]
Today CHRIS SHALOM holds it true that the forest of rhythm still houses some
new species with full and rich vocals, magnetic beats and revelation based lyrics. SECOND ALBUM DROPPING!!!!(MORE THAN A
CONQUEROR) more songs rolling and the message still ringing and reigning. For
CHRIS SHALOM, Jesus is the reason for it all!! with the microphone in his
hands, this maestro just gets you
worshiping, praising, singing and dancing.The miracles continue with his
fingers on the piano keys. A dexterous producer cruising world genre exposing
his flexibility. now CHRIS ROCKS!!!!!
