Following in the footsteps of his father from a young age, Oakland native Chris Turner is a classically-trained crooner gifted with the raw expression not unlike Bilal & Prince. The power behind his voice is tempered by years of experience performing for crowds while touring with the likes of Gwen Stefani, Esperanza Spalding, and Usher, and appearances made on BET’s “106 & Park” and BBC Radio with Gilles Peterson.
