Help Chris Rebuild After Fire Destroys Studio

Help Rebuild After the Eaton Canyon Fire

Hi everyone,

Recently, and sadly, in the Eaton Canyon fire, my garage and music studio—containing my life’s collection of music equipment and several instruments—burned to the ground. Among the losses were irreplaceable tools that helped shape influential records before making their way into my world. These items were not just essential to my work but held immense personal and creative value.

Along with this, I also lost many personal belongings, including cherished photos and keepsakes of my late parents, computers, clothing, and other items from my life. The emotional and financial toll has been overwhelming.

In addition, some of the gear lost belonged to friends who trusted me with it. I feel an immense responsibility to make things right with them, even as I try to rebuild my own collection. Unfortunately, insurance won’t be covering any of these losses, leaving me at square one.

My goal is to begin the rebuilding process for my studio so I can continue creating and working in the field I love. Any donation—big or small—would mean the world to me and help me take steps toward recovery. Even sharing this campaign would make a difference.

Thank you so much for your time, support, and generosity.

With gratitude,

C
