ARTIST SPOTLIGHT : CHRIS CORKAL 🎨
Chris Corkal
“Chris Corkal is a Vancouver-based, cinematic, melodic, liquid drum and bass DJ/producer from Yellowknife, Canada.
Chris fell in love with music at the age of 5 playing piano and started producing music in Garage Band during boarding school.
After attending Shambhala Music Festival in 2011, Chris dropped out of business school to learn music production full-time at Dubspot online. Over the next two years, he traveled the world visiting music festivals including Envision, Snowboming, Lightning in a Bottle, Symbiosis, and Burning Man.
At Burning Man in 2013, he met a talent agent who invited him to come to LA to pursue music full time. However, Chris' brother was suffering from a devastating he**in addiction, and he felt compelled to stay home and be there for his family. In 2016, he made the move to LA to further his production and DJ training at Dubspot in person. After refining his skills, later that year he was invited to play Lightning In a Bottle's Pagoda stage.
In November of that year, Chris' brother Richard lost his battle to addiction, he returned home devastated - and for the following two years, Chris completely lost his passion for music.
One day in 2018, having come to terms with his grief, something reignited the sound in his head. From that morning on till today, he's been more passionate about music than
he ever was before and his music is a sonic expression of working through his emotions and dedicated to Richard.”
