This week we welcome Chris Erasmus, an up-and-coming country artist with a story unlike any other. Originally from Zimbabwe, Chris brings a fresh perspective to a genre rooted in American tradition.
This is what we talked about in this episode:
- Growing up in Zimbabwe and discovering music early on
- Entering the world of country from outside the U.S.
- His background in musical theatre and performing on major stages
- How classical training influences his songwriting and sound
- The experience of moving to the U.S. and working on ranches
