Chris Walton
Meet Chris Walton:
He’s a singer/songwriter/producer. Walton’s music is a blend of classic Soul, Jazz, and Funk with a modern aesthetic. Chris is equally comfortable writing intimate introspective love songs or upbeat retro pop tracks. Chris released his EP, Fade, in February 2021. Fade is a three-song journey that takes the listener from love to heartache — listen here.
He released his debut album, Ruminating Thoughts in January 2023. This album is a culmination of his music up to this point, including recent releases “Soon” and “Cravin’,” that left fans eager to hear more from the chilled-out crooner. Inspired by the likes of Stevie Wonder, early John Mayer, and Daniel Caesar, Chris has created an album of smooth, jazz kissed songs that tug at the heart strings of listeners with effortless relatability on love and loss of love.
Walton attended Berklee College of Music and currently lives in Boston, MA.
“"Whatcha Say" is a fantastic track about breakups on its own, but it sounds even better if you listen to the entire three-part, genre-bending love story told on Chris Walton's EP.”

“Focusing on the subtle parts of a love story that are not often sung about, his unique approach is paralleled beautifully by the way he blends and juxtaposes musical styles such as jazz, rock, R&B, and soul. Listeners already have a feel for these styles, but Chris’s approach is different: the seamless transitions between genres within a song will leave any listener wanting more.”

“Walton effortlessly displays the wide range in his vocals while paying homage to influences such as Sade, John Mayer and Lauryn Hill.”
