You might have heard music form today’s guest without knowing it! He’s written songs that received placement on ESPN, HBO, CBS, and even with the WWE. What you may not know is that he’s a Cleveland native who also has a day job. We first met Chris B. Harris filming a music video for his alter ego, DJ $crilla. His talent and personality have kept us in-touch a few years later. Now, he is a guest on Spokes. We go into how gigs as a DJ led him to become the hip-hop artist he is today. We also talk about how his day job as the External Affairs Manager for the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office has influenced his work in the recording studio. Finally, we go into how he got into music licensing, as well as his experiences on-set of music videos.
Featured Song: “Watch Me.” Recorded under one of Chris’ alter-egos, Hill Harris
