22-year-old singer/songwriter Chris Townsend is currently in the studio with top producer Greg Haver (Manic Street Preachers, Opshop, Mel C, Catatonia) working on his debut album scheduled for release in early 2008.
Since early 2006 when he supported chart toppers The Feeling he has played shows all over the UK taking in the cities of Sheffield, Leeds, Manchester, Bristol, Southampton, London, Oxford and Cambridge and culminating in a 3 night sold-out show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2007. He also played a number of concerts in Copenhagen, Denmark during a six-month stay there between August 2006 and January 2007 and plans to return in December 2007 to promote his forthcoming single launch there.
His independently released 'What Are You Waiting For' EP has sold over 2000 copies reaching audiences all over the world thanks to online resources such as Myspace where Chris regularly features in the top UK artists and has had over 180,000 plays and 140,000 hits since February 2006.
The future looks bright for this young artist as he adds the finishing touches to his debut album.
