With his green Gretsch guitar in hand, CDO performs modern rock tracks that are crafted with great care along with producer Damian Valentine (formerly with the band “Bolt Upright” on Sony 550).
Chris comments: “Making this record has been the most magical and inspiring time of my life. My hope is that people will connect with my music, and be uplifted by my fantasy music videos”
Perhaps for the first time in music history, a music video series is translated into an epic feature film. His SHINE TRILOGY of music videos started with “Shine On Me” directed by Academy Award winning special effects artist Robert Short, whose feature film credits include; “E.T.” “Beetlejuice.” The video was dubbed, “The Best Music Video of the Year” by New Yorker Magazine.
Next came “Light Speed” directed by CDO, which takes the fantasy saga to new heights and deepens the adventure. And now the 3rd music video, ”Do You Believe in Miracles?” completes the trilogy and connects directly to the new feature film, “EMPIRE QUEEN: The Golden Age of Magic.” The movie debuted in 2024 on Prime Video, and won “Best Feature Film” at the Sweden Film Awards.
CDO hopes that fans of his music videos will really enjoy the movie, and that new audiences will have a great time watching it as well.
