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 (Årets nytænker), given by Spotify as an innovation prize. His debut single was 'Against the Odds' (September 2011), which reached #23 in Denmark. His début 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'.

Naked
Christopher Lyrics
Verse
Girl I know you done had enough
Ego gotta swallow it up
Next move gotta follow it up
Before you're that somebody
The new you done found a way
The new you ain't built the same
Girl no more time for games
No more crying through the night
That's no way to live your life
Focus on your mind
Let love find you
Let love find you
Pre Chorus
Ima be right beside you
I will never deny you
Ima keep you on track too
The one that you could talk smack to
Can't go back to the old you
Can't keep eating that old fruit
Serpents out in the garden
They just tryna control you
Hook
Cause you don't know that you naked
You don't know that you naked
You don't know that you naked
You don't know that you naked
Unless you eat the fruit
Verse
Girl I know you done had it ruff
There comes a time when you've had enough
Old wounds gotta patch em up
Before you're that somebody
Everybody don't find their way
Everybody ain't built the same
But I know that you're built for change
No more crying through the night
That's no way to live your life
Focus on your mind
Let love find you
Let love find you
Pre Chorus
Ima be right beside you
I will never deny you
Ima keep you on track too
The one that you could talk smack to
Can't go back to the old you
Can't keep eating that old fruit
Serpents out in the garden
They just tryna control you
Hook
Cause you don't know that you naked
You don't know that you naked
You don't know that you naked
You don't know that you naked
Unless you eat the fruit
Unless you eat the fruit
Unless you eat the fruit
Unless you eat the fruit
Girl I know you done had enough
Ego gotta swallow it up
Next move gotta follow it up
Before you're that somebody
The new you done found a way
The new you ain't built the same
Girl no more time for games
No more crying through the night
Focus on your mind
Let love find you
Let love find you
Pre Chorus
Ima be right beside you
I will never deny you
Ima keep you on track too
The one that you could talk smack to
Can't go back to the old you
Can't keep eating that old fruit
Serpents out in the garden
They just tryna control you
Hook
Cause you don't know that you naked
You don't know that you naked
You don't know that you naked
You don't know that you naked
Unless you eat the fruit
