DIAMOND CITY
The New Single
AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE
Introducing Chris Ayden, a Nashville-based American singer-songwriter and guitarist whose music seamlessly blends alternative rock and soulful Americana into a sound that’s all his own.
As an independent self-managed artist, Chris has already made impressive strides in the music industry. Previously, he was the songwriter and frontman of Los Angeles-based indie rock band Illumination Road, where he worked alongside Matt Sorum, legendary drummer of Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver.
During his time with Illumination Road, Chris shared the stage with heavyweights like Aerosmith and Van Halen, as well as contemporary rockers Rival Sons and Reignwolf. He also contributed the main riff to Billy Gibbons’ track “Shuffle, Step and Slide” on his most recent album, “Hardware”.
Now, Chris is ready to step into the spotlight with his debut single as a solo artist, “Diamond City.” The track is a potent mix of Berlin-era David Bowie funk, raw bluesy guitar work reminiscent of Jimi Hendrix and Gary Clark Jr., and a massive sing-along chorus. The lyrics are infused with hopeful defiance as Chris longs to break free from the shackles of confusion and chaos and forge his own path in the world.
“Diamond City” is now available on all streaming platforms.
