About Me
I'm the son of a farm girl, grandson of a tobacco farmer and of coal miners. I have a huge respect for farmers and the people who feed this country and keep it running. I hope to help out any way I can with the issues surrounding the American farmer & hunger relief.

Oh, and a few people asked this. Yes, this is me. I don't let anybody else represent me. I'm down on the Carolina coast right now filming. I hope I can go out west soon to film on some farms and ranches. So until then, it's just good to be around some downhome people, even if it is just online! :)

Chris Sparks - Tele Jelly (Guitar Solo) ARTIST BIO I don't do bios. Bio, and the "B" stands for Bull. Read my blog on how I feel about that. So, I just give you the facts. Awards, Records made of Precious Metal, Bogus Airplay Charts, Creatively Financed Radio Airplay, the commercial opinions of "experts in the industry" and a PR person's paid opinion of me are not relevant to me and do not make my music any better. The only three things that matter to me about music are:

1. Do you like my lyrics?
2. Do you like my music?
3. Do you like the way I do it? ;) Well, do you? :)

NO FAN CLUB I can't stand the word "fan". It is short for fanatic. It puts me on a pedestal. I don't save lives, protect our country, fight fires, protect and serve or do any of those things that real heros do. I write and play music. That is it! It is an honor to get to do what I do. If I inspire someone or raise their spirits, I am again honored. But, I really just want to make you laugh, smile, think (maybe cry) and love. Yeah, mainly I just want to make you love... 9 months after I play your city, I want there to be a population Explosion! ;) So anyway, that is why I call my "fan club", the VIP club. It's the best I could do. Thanks for liking my music and giving me a little bit of your time.

CD Update
I just produced 6 new songs in Nashville. We will be releasing several singles. These songs are for my new CD which will be released in 2008.

ABOUT MY MUSIC
I am a singer, songwriter, producer and record label President & Owner. I handle every aspect of my career from the songwriting to the graphics. I do it because I absolutely love every part of the process. I write all of my own material because I only want to sing stuff that comes from me. Perhaps one day I will do a tribute to my influences with a compilation of covers.

My only real goal in music is to simply make good music. I'm not looking for a deal on another major label. I'm happy on my own label. I'm not waiting on my big break. I'm just making music and very happy when somebody enjoys it.

HOMETOWN & EDUCATION
I'm originally from Greensboro, NC where I went to Western Guilford High School and UNCG for my BSBA in Marketing and MBA in Finance.

SINGLE?
Yes, I am single, never married, never engaged, no kids. I don't date very often. I prefer to only go out with a woman who I really want to date. I have an article coming up about my views on dating and the type of women I like.
