Chris Kilmore was raised outside of [[Pittsburgh PA]] 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|fast food joint]], and his Dad bought him a matching counterpart. |

As an adult, Kilmore picked up and moved out west to [[Los Angeles, California|LA]] in pursuit of his musical career. He nailed down a few gigs DJ'ing at a local LA clubs, and later joined a [[DJ battle crew]], the [[Jedi Knights]] (Kilmore is a HUGE [[Starwars]] fan). In 1998, Chris whent 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]], 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' finacial situation was greatly improved by joining Incubus, as before joining the band, Chris 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]]''. It is arguable that Chris's addition to the band gave 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 2001 followup ''[[Morning View]]'' and into today, Chris continues to provide an added creative force to the band. |
