Background
Chris Kläfford began his musical journey when he first picked up the guitar at the age of nine, and soon thereafter he started singing. Chris has had the dream of entertaining and moving people with his music his entire life. At times people around him have told him to choose another path, or to "get a real job" to support himself financially. While finances have been a struggle on and off over the years as he played low-paying cover gigs, Chris has never given up on what he truly loves to do: writing and performing his own music. Never giving up on his dream and refusing to have a backup plan has gotten Chris this far in life. Now he wants to see how far his dream can take him and his music. [1]
