Chris Marsol is an Actor, Recording Artist and Musician emanating from the San Francisco Bay Area. Some of his most memorable live shows include sharing the stage with The Roots, and Raphael Saadiq (Tony! Toni! Tone!).  His two album releases; Rockit Science and Butterflies, Lipstick and Hand Grenades have received international radio play, press accolades and a dedicated fan following.  His latest EP Release "Time Is A Circus" features his signature alchemy of Pop, rock and R&B. 

 

When it comes to his love for acting, Chris remembers when it all started.  “I got the lead in my 5th grade musical called Steamboat’n. I was 11 and I played a 70 year old man.  I grayed my hair, changed my voice and walked differently, talked differently.  I was completely hooked right then and there.”  Chris is perhaps best known for his roles in 5 different installments of the uber-popular NBA 2K video game franchise.  Other projects have afforded Chris the opportunity to work with talents like Spike Lee, Michael B. Jordan, Ja-Rule and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.  Marsol can also be seen acting on stage, appearing most recently in the award winning August Wilson  play The Piano Lesson.  Always working on his craft, he spent time in London training at the prestigious Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.  Just as in his music, Chris unabashedly seeks out opportunities to challenge himself and dive into realms where he can share his own unique and authentic vibration.  

 

When not in front of an instrument or a camera, Chris can usually be found binging on science and nature documentaries.  “I’m a space geek and an animal nerd.  I’ve got all of this useless information in my brain and I’m just waiting for my moment where it will all come in handy.”
