Chris Ilett
Chris caught the music bug when he was 10, starting off on the piano and picked up the guitar aged 12, which became his instrument of choice. From there, he went through the usual routine of playing in bands and practicing/writing music during every spare minute. During his GCSE music days, he found a respect for Leonard Bernstein’s composition skills in West Side Story – in particular a fascination with time signature and key changes, which would lay a foundation in some of Chris’ future signature compositions.
During a Leicestershire Arts recording session for his band (a compilation CD also featuring Robin!), Chris scored his first studio experience, and returned for work experience when he was 16. He followed up with a sound engineering course, and years later would pick up the Sound Engineer mantle professionally – becoming resident engineer at several venues in Leicester, and a year later found himself touring the UK and Europe on the Arena circuit.
Chris soon found his main love in this profession was in mixing and producing records, so concentrated on developing his skills through paid work whilst setting up a web design business to keep a roof over his head.
Chris has recently relocated to London and heads up the EdgeTracks team.
