1… Read Full Bio ↴There are several artists who recorded under the name Christopher.
1. Christopher Nissen (born January 31, 1992) is a Danish singer from Copenhagen, signed to EMI Denmark. In November 2012 he won an award at the Danish Music Awards 2012. He was awarded New Thinker of the Year (ร rets nytรฆnker), given by Spotify as an innovation prize. His debut single was 'Against the Odds' (September 2011), which reached #23 in Denmark. His dรฉbut album, 'Colours', was released in March 2012, its follow-up, 'Told You So', in March 2014.
2. Hailing from Toronto Canada, Christopher, who found most conventions and current musical climates quite disagreeable, is a 3rd generation student drop out of Bela Bartok. Originally a classically trained guitarist, Christopher transmuted into a multi-ethnic dual gender vocal firestorm and fringe composer. The first incarnation was the 2001 release Wer Next Projekt. Fast forward five years of relocating, reinventing, whimsical auditions for Finnish metal bands, studio fires and floods, Smoke and Origination is released, a 68-minute opus that shares some of the same discordant ambitions Brian Wilson laid down in 'Pet Sounds'. The album documents urban sprawl and the cannibalistic homogenization of Western life.
3. Another one of Texas' wealth of interesting, late-'60s psychedelic bands, Christopher came together in 1968 in the Houston area. Doug Tull (drums), Doug Walden (bass, vocals), and Richard Avitts (guitar, vocals) were the original members of the band, which was originally known as United Gas. Tull and Avitts, at the time playing in a series of R&B and soul-leaning groups, first met in 1966 when Tull sat in on drums with one of Avitts' bands. Tull, however, was not as serious about the music as Avitts, leading to an eventual split. Tull developed a friendship around this time with Jefferson Airplane guitarist and Texas native Jorma Kaukonen, and, in 1967, invited Avitts to jam with them. Certain that they had the makings of a band, the two went searching for a bassist who could sing, eventually finding Doug Walden. It was not long before United Gas developed a following in and around Houston, playing local clubs such as Tangerine Forest, whose owner, Nick Lee, developed an interest in the band, eventually becoming their manager. Walden and Avitts began writing their own material and recorded a demo that Lee had circulated around Las Vegas and Los Angeles by his connections in those cities. United Gas moved to Las Vegas for a brief time and then to Los Angeles after L.A. record label Metromedia offered them a two-year contract. At the behest of Metromedia, the band changed their name to Christopher so that they wouldn't be confused with similarly monikered California band Pacific Gas & Electric. Walden and Avitts felt Christopher to be a religious band -- the name is derived from Saint Christopher -- and wanted to convey this through the music. Recording of their first album started in early 1969, but was hampered by Tull's drug use and his failed suicide attempt. He was fired (later returning to Houston and joining Josephus) and the sessions were completed with drummers John Simpson and Terrence Hand. The result was Christopher's self-titled debut album, released in a single 1970 pressing of a thousand LPs by Metromedia. Walden and Avitts remained in Los Angeles playing as Christopher until Avitts returned to Houston later in the year.
4. Christopher was a fuzz psych / garage / blues rock band from North Carolina, United States, who released one studio album: 1970s' 'What'cha Gonna Do?' on Chris-Tee Records. Only 100 copies were pressed originally, making it an ultra rarity until Rockadelic/Atlas re-issued it. Personnel: Gary Lucas (drums), Bill McKee (bass), Steve Nagle (guitar), Frank Smoak (lead guitar).
5. Paddy O'Neill had been a member of Manchester-based harmony acts such as The Chuckles in the late 1960s. He recorded a singer-songwriter album ('Where I Belong') for the fledgling RAK label as Christopher Neil in 1972. In between he recorded a one-off single for Chapter One Records under the name Christopher: 'Sharkey'b/w 'The Race'.

I hope she comes in
To wake me
I sleep with the world wide open

To wake me
The door is left wide open
I beg that you come in
And wake me
I left the door wide open
My love you walk in
And wake me

I've been wondering
Am I the only one, to see it coming?
We've been doing it wrong
Forโ soโ long
Ain't it funny,โ how we keep complaining, but doโ nothing?
When we know that we'll make it
Go away
[Pre-Chorus]
We watching theโclouds,โchangingโshapes
Wait for aโstorm and tasteโthe rain
But if we're standing still, now it'll be too late
[Chorus]
If you're praying for a change
You better not wait
Keep turning the pages
There's choices you make
Only once in your life
Once in your life
If you're praying for a change
You better not wait
Keep turning the pages
There's choices you make
Only once in your life
Only once in your life
[Verse 2]
Are we taking
More than we can give?
Celebrating
Like there's no risk
[?]
[Pre-Chorus]
We watching the clouds, changing shapes
Wait for a storm and taste the rain
But if we're standing still, now it'll be too late
[Chorus]
If you're praying for a change
You better not wait
Keep turning the pages
There's choices you make
Only once in your life
Once in your life
If you're praying for a change
You better not wait
Keep turning the pages
There's choices you make
Only once in your life
Only once in your life
[Bridge]
When we fade, the sky's turning grey
Would you leave us behind?
I'll take a leap of faith
I still see your color just the same, do you see yours shine?
[Chorus]
If you're praying for a change
You better not wait
Keep turning the pages
There's choices you make
Only once in your life
Once in your life
So If you're praying for a change
You better not wait
Keep turning the pages
There's choices you make
Only once in your life
Once in your life
If you're praying for a change
You better not wait
Keep turning the pages
There's choices you make
Only once in your life
Only once in your life
[Outro]
I've been wondering
Am I the only one, to see it coming?
We've been doing it wrong
For so long
