“I’m the dude…
…let’s get it done.”
Down to earth, adaptive & disarming. Chrys has a keen sense for what is needed in the moment…it shows in the way he works without worry of things working out in his favor…he’s truly interested in what’s best for the artist to find peak creativity.

"During my many years using Ampeg bass rigs I have had the opportunity to meet and work with a few of the guys in Artist Relations. Chrys Johnson is the latest and it was a total pleasure to work with him at the NAMM show. A very professional, engaging and comfortable guy and a credit to Ampeg/Mackie." Cliff Williams AC/DC

"Working with Chrys has been an example of how much an Artist rep. can care about their artist. He's consistently shown a level of interest in helping us that is on par with actually being a member of the group. Whether it's brain storming new ideas for stage plotting or trouble shooting existing problems, we've found his help invaluable." Tosin Abasi Animals As Leaders

"I’ve worked with Chrys Johnson for close to two decades, and throughout that time he’s been unfailingly supportive, immediate, creative, patient, and refreshingly grounded. Chrys brings clarity where there’s confusion and calm where there’s chaos. Anything he commits to gets his full attention and heart, which is why I trust that his new venture will be thoughtful, well-crafted, and genuinely meaningful." Steve Vai

"I have been a player of Alvarez guitars for over 20 years now and sincerely appreciate the relationship i've shared with the company and all of the fine people under it's roof. chrys johnson is no exception. he has been generous with his time and attention and has already overseen the creation of a baritone guitar that suits my performance needs better than any of the other baritones i've tried. i am very grateful to chrys for soliciting my requests and working with his team to finally put a baritone in my hands that plays and sounds like i'd hoped. i look forward to working with chrys in the future and value him highly as a member of the alvarez team!" -Ani Difranco

"Perhaps my favorite thing about Chrys Johnson is his apparent love and passion for music--and for life! He is hip, knowledgeable, and excited about what is happening in the music world, which has made our interactions inspiring and interesting for me. I feel that he truly understands the world in which we move as musicians, and how important our tools are to us.... ...I would highly recommend Chrys Johnson for anything you might be considering. In closing, if I may be so informal, he is a very cool dude. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Gail Ann Dorsey
