Musician

Chris Bieniek

Chris Bieniek began playing the guitar at age 14.

The catalyst was hearing a young guitarist at high school play the melody to the Michael Jackson song ‘Give in to me’ on an electric guitar. ‘What?!!’... ‘You can play the music that someone sings on a guitar?!!’ This blew his mind,  so he grabbed his Dad’s old acoustic & began a feverish obsession with playing that continues to this day. Then came the discovery of Jimi Hendrix’s music. After the Hendrix obsession, he began listening to players like Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, Robben Ford, Larry Carlton, Allan Holdsworth, Frank Gambale & the Chick Corea Elektric Band which paved the way to developing a love for Jazz, Jazz Fusion & everything in between. Two years later at age 15, Chris was accepted into the Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School (VCASS) which led to an appreciation of players including Wes Montgomery, Charlie Christian, John Scofield, Pat Metheny & Wayne Krantz. At age 18, he was accepted into the Victorian College of the Arts where he graduated with a Bachelor of Music Performance degree in 2001.
