Christos DC / Long Road

Χαμός:

The artist Christos DC aka Christopher Vrenios, was born and  raised in Washington, D.C. by parents who sang opera and taught voice professionally. He takes his name from his Greek heritage using a nickname given to him by his grandmother & also to represent his birthplace that set the tone of his musical journey.
His sound is best described as a blend of Downtempo,  Reggae with overtones of  jazz.
[...]
it was his deep appreciation for the sounds coming out of Kingston, Jamaica that led him to record with legendary reggae artists Sly and Robbie as well as the Firehouse Crew. He was later recruited by Don Carlos of Black Uhuru and The Itals to tour.
[...]
He then went on to do session work, playing guitar, bass, and even co-writing with the world famous Thievery Corporation, as well as other groups.
