==Early History== |
|||
{{R to related topic}} |
|||
Chris Kilmore was raised outside of [[Dillsburg]], [[Pennsylvania]] by an adoptive family. He was first introduced to 'spinning records' when he saw "[[DJ Jazzy Jeff|Jazzy Jeff]] and the [[Will Smith|Fresh Prince]]" perform live, and he fell in love with it immediately. He bought his first table after getting a job at a [[Fast-food restaurant]], and his father bought him a matching counterpart. |

As an adult, Kilmore relocated to [[Los Angeles, California|LA]] with the intention of building up a musical career. After performing as a DJ at local LA clubs, Kilmore later joined a DJ battle crew, the Jedi Knights (Kilmore is a big [[Star Wars]] fan). |

==Incubus career== |
|||
In 1998, Kilmore went from semi-anonymity, to performing in front of thousands of people practically overnight when he got the chance to try out for a rock band who had recently parted ways with their original DJ. Kilmore had one audition with the band [[Incubus (band)|Incubus]] (the best band on the planet!!, and was immediately taken aboard. The rest of the band was instantly impressed with Kilmore, who quickly learned the parts for over a dozen songs in a matter of days. The band was in the middle of a tour when he joined so he was straight into a busy schedule. Chris' previous dire financial situation was greatly improved on joining Incubus - before, he had been forced to go without electricity in his apartment because he could not afford the bill. |
|||
After a stretch of constant touring, the band, now with Kilmore, took time off to write and record their second full length major label album, ''[[Make Yourself]]''. Incubus has said that Chris's addition to the band was intended to give them a deeper, more organic texture to the music than had been heard before. The album would prove to be very successful. The single "Drive" was released and did very well. |
|||
With the band's follow up albums ''[[Morning View]]'' ([[2001]]) and ''[[A Crow Left of the Murder]]'' ([[2004]]), Chris continued to provide an added creative force to the band. This force was increased with the release of ''[[Light Grenades]]'' by Incubus - he is now credited for playing the "Turntables, [[Hammond B3]], [[Minimoog Voyager|Moog Voyager]], [[Rhodes piano|Rhodes]], [[Mellotron]], [[Piano]], [[Marxophone]], and [[Theremin]]." |
|||
==Other== |
|||
Kilmore also spun tracks on a live version of [[Crash into Me]] by [[Dave Matthews Band]]. |
