We had the good fortune of connecting with Chris Perez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Chris, how has your background shaped the person you are today?
I am from St. Peterburg, Florida. Its where I spent most of my youth and although i moved alot frequently, this as close to a stomping ground i can call it.

Florida is a crazy place – you’ve seen the frequent headlines. The environment alone leads for interesting surroundings. Aside from that, the idea of freedom and passion engraved in me in the form of the ocean and the beaches. I still miss it!

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am multi-instrumentalist of post/sludge metal band SHARPY and while its not my main source of income or full time job, I am absolutely proud of the attention and progress this project has brought me! I’ve gone through several line up changes but I am very happy of the current alignment, which includes my wonderful wife Moody Luna. Together with our good friends Kevin Pha and Kevin Harry we are reestablishing our sound and fan base!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
The possibilities are quite endless im dfw, to be honest ! We would defintely go check out some awesome music at the Main at Southside in fort worth!
Or Wit’s End in deep ellum 👌
If we are in Deep Ellum, Serious Pizza is an absolute must – its even worth the crazy long lines!
For a crazy out of the box dining experience in fort worth, the vegan diner Spiral is unbelievably great!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Oh goodness! Besides my friends and family, absolutely the local musoc scene! And i mean DFW because it is where I started my musical journey as an adult officially.
