Chris Heron is a Professional Freelance Musician based in Leeds with wide experience in the industry. Originally from Northern Ireland, he was brought up by his parents who were both professional musicians, and given formal training on the violin. At college, he was interested in popular music and went on further to compose as a singer-songwriter, learn guitar, incorporate the loop-station and improvise on the violin.

With a solid foundation and handle on classical music, he decided to study Classical & Popular music which he pursued at the University of Hull. It was there that he was able to be fully immersed in music while leading the university orchestras, performing in high-level ensemble work, performing on stage with the Cinematic Orchestra, writing and producing an original solo album, leading an independent string orchestra, performing the Sibelius Violin Concerto, and building a portfolio to lead him into the professional world of music.

He’s now based in Leeds with various work around the UK within Performance, Composition, Arranging, Producing, Recording, Teaching, Directing, and Collaborations. Chris is a very motivated individual with a huge passion to create and perform music, work with other musicians, and to teach what he knows.
