About Christopher
Artist • Producer
Career
The story
Christopher Wheeler is a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and record producer working between piano-led songwriting and modern cinematic production. Raised on soul records, late-night radio and film scores, he writes songs that sit somewhere between an intimate room recording and a wide, orchestral horizon. He began as a session player before moving behind the desk, and now splits his time between his own releases and production work for other artists through CW Music Productions.
