Grammy award winner Chris Berry (US/Zimbabwe) is an eclectic singer and songwriter, multi-instrumentalist virtuoso, and high-energy performer. From his humble beginning during Robert Mugabe’s regime in Zimbabwe, he has blasted his powerful Afro-infused sound around the World for over twenty years; rocking audiences from NYC’s Irving Plaza to sold out stadiums in South Africa and Sydney Australia’s famous Opera House.
“He (Chris Berry) possesses a unique and reedy voice like Sting, a stage presence like James Brown, and lyrical content reminiscent of Bob Marley.” - New York Press
