Chris Seefried first garnered national attention when
Quincy Jones signed his band
Gods Child from NYC to Warner Brothers records. Their highest honor came when their single "Everybody's 1", charted in two Billboard charts simultaneously, peaking at #18 on the Mainstream Rock chart and #25 on the Modern Rock chart. After two albums with Warner Brothers, Chris moved to LA and started the band
Joe 90.
Adam Duritz of
Counting Crows signed the group to Geffen Records. Their debut record
Dream This includes the hit song song "Drive" which was featured as an end title on the HBO hit series
"Six Feet Under". Every song from the record was synched to film or television. Their second album
A Raccoons Lunch features "And When I Die", the end title from the New Line Cinema film
Final Destination.
In between making records and touring as
Rosanne Cash's guitar player, Chris wrote the
national campaign for Nabisco Chips Ahoy, which won the
Effie Award. Chris started southern California rock band
Low Stars, whose debut album co-produced by
George Drakoulias was released at Starbucks stores all over the country through
Hear Music in 2007. This album features the theme song for
ABC television series
"What About Brian" penned by Seefried called "Calling All Friends". That same year Chris wrote and performed the Drive Shaft song "You All Everybody" for the hit ABC television series
"Lost" . Chris recorded and produced his solo album debut
Denim Blue released in 2008.
Currently, Chris just finished scoring
Michael Cuesta's latest movie "Roadie" due out in the fall.

Pickin' up the Pieces produced and co-written by Chris is due out this summer. Justine Bennett's ep
Heavy Feeling will be coming out May 4th and is produced and co-written by Chris. Jay Nash will be making his second record with Seefried producing in June. Low Stars will be finishing their follow up record.
