Chris Liggio
Artist, Producer, Musician, Writer, Mix Engineer, Chris "CL" Liggio, is a quintuple threat, ready to take his place amongst the elite of popular culture.
A 70's baby, Chris was born in Mamaroneck NY, a quaint suburb about 20 minutes from the happening music scene in New York City. Unlike most kids in his neighborhood CL didn't live the normal suburban lifestyle. He was primed early on by his father, an accomplished musician in his own right, for a successful career in the music business. It was at the tender age of 3 that CL first recalls having an affinity for the piano. While watching his father rehearse Liggio was moved by his passion and determination to be a true and honest musician. It was during these tender years that Chris lived what most kids only dreamed of. The elder Liggio was a sought after music director and musician who played in bands that opened for the likes of Santana and other relevant acts of the late 70's and early 80's. Touring exposed CL to 'true' musicianship and timeless melody. This gave Chris the foundation that he needed to be a standout amongst the emerging hip-hop/pop/r&b youth movement that would soon be the driving force of the pop music scene.
Growing up in the suburbs gave Chris a unique perspective to making records. Chris was heavily influenced by his dad, but by the time he was 10 years old CL inherited his first pair of turntables from his uncle & jumped head first into DJing. It was at that moment that CL had a new love...hip-hop. The hip-hop culture and rap music had made its way into the heart and mind of young Liggio, and it was a match made in heaven! "It was strange" recalls Chris, The greats like Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Steely Dan, Rolling Stones, Marvin Gaye, The Police, and jazz pianist Bill Evans to name a few, helped me appreciate the importance of honesty and originality yet I craved the gutsy, edgy and poetic appeal of Rap and the flavor Of Hip Hop, I didn't know it then, but I was getting my masters in producing"
Chris got his break in the late 90's when music producer Dave Hall (Mariah Carey, Mary J Blige, Madonna) was looking for producers to sign to his upstart record company Hall of Fame. Chris signed on and although the experience wasn't what he thought it would be financially, the opportunity was priceless. Being around Hall, who at the time was very hot, pushed open doors that CL would not have otherwise had access to. Recounts Liggio, "I appreciated the Dave Hall situation because I learned what to do and what not to do". Chris couldn't be more spot on, he learned exactly what to do.... and did it. He parlayed his new association into meetings with industry big wigs and began landing tracks on such platinum acts as Ghostface, Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, Case, and Musiq Soulchild to name a few. "Working with strong melodies & cool chord progressions are the most important element to me. Ballsy vocals (even if you're a girl) Truth & Sincerity in an artist's voice is key, I've been fortunate to work with those types of artists"
What's next for Chris? Right now he sits at the helm of his state of the art recording facility called "The Digital Bitch" where he is producing his own band, a singer-songwriter duo called "Ginger Rose" and a slew of new acts on the Atlantic/Warner and Universal labels.
