Chris Brown first got into Afro American music whilst living in Southport during the mid 60's. His interest in Soul, R&B and Jazz soon developed into a passion that took him regularly to clubs like the now legendary 'Twisted Wheel' in Manchester. When Chris' family moved back to Surrey in 1967 there weren't many clubs playing music of the style and caliber that Chris had become accustom to and so he began DJ'ing to fill the void for himself and a few like minded friends. After 2 or 3 years working small clubs and running a mobile disco, sponsored by an electronics company, Chris spent a season working in a club in Spain, to gain more experience.
On his return in 1973, Chris was offered a residency at 'Pantiles' in Bagshot, Surrey where he soon established himself as a fully fledged DJ specializing in American Soul music. He built on his notoriety at other residencies that included 'Frenchies' in Camberley, 'Jacksons' in Staines and 'The Belvedere' in Ascot and was soon doing guest spots all over the country.

In 1976 he was invited to DJ at the biggest Soul Alldayers in the South of England which at that time were held at the 'Top Rank Suite' in Reading. The success of these events was further enhanced in 1977 when Chris suggested the addition of DJ Chris Hill (then resident at the 'Lacy Lady' in Seven Kings, Essex). In 1978 Greg Edwards (presenter of 'Soul Spectrum' on Capital Radio at the time) and Robbie Vincent (who was BBC Radio London's main man) were added to the line up. the overwhelming attendance that ensued necessitated the move to a larger venue and 'Tiffany's' in Purley proved to be ideal.
The amazing success of the Purley Alldayers and the similar events staged around the country gave Robbie Vincent the idea to take the concept to the next logical phase and in 1979 the Soul Weekender was born at Caister near Great Yarmouth in Norfolk.
Around this time Chris Brown was a regular guest on BBC Radio London's 'Robbie Vincent's Saturday Soul Show', standing in for Robbie on occasions to co host the show with Graham 'Fatman' Canter (then resident at 'Gullivers' in Mayfair, London). Chris has since presented and been interviewed on many radio shows on numerous stations. He has also appeared on TV programs that have documented this music.

Chris has also written and reviewed music for a variety of publications including 'Blues and Soul' and in 1980 he wrote and published a book called 'The family Album' which chronicled the scene with a collection of photographs. He has also compiled, mixed and produced recordings for numerous labels and in 1990 achieved
chart success with a reworking of the Staple Singers' 'Trippin' on Your Love' by A Way of Life. Chris' passion for Soul music remains undiminished and he has continued to spin tunes in many exotic locations from Ibiza to Blackpool. Over the years he has worked alongside many internationally renown acts and a diverse selection of DJ luminaries that include; Pete Tong, Colin Curtis, Gilles Peterson, Paul Oakenfold, Trevor Nelson, Bob Jones, Norman Jay, Bobbie and Steve, Richard Searling, Tim Westwood, Carl Cox, Snowboy, Peter Young and Frostie!
