Christian Hurst is a paradox. An introspective yet passionate songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, his life has been an unlikely journey in music. From humble beginnings as a young poet attempting to merge his words with music in emulation of that which moved him most, he could not help but be drawn into everything that is music.
From simple acoustic folk, rock, country and blues, Christian has followed a strange path through all types of music. Delving into almost every genre, from hard rock through classical and everything in between, with deep forays into jazz and improvisation, there is nothing he loves to do more than play music. Christian has also become an accomplished producer, engineer, programmer and arranger through necessity, and is finally getting around to releasing his own record through his own Granitewish Studios.
Christian is just now beginning to accept his own sound, having fought the claim of so many styles for so long, and has somehow managed to integrate them all. Blending intricate fingerstyle with percussive rhythm playing, his songs tend to be landscapes of emotional reckoning, searching and revelation. The honesty and intensity are sometimes overwhelming.
