SHOWTIMES: 7:30PM AND 9:30PM. To Atlanta audiophiles, Chris’s best known for his force as an arranger and Musical Director for multiple prominent celebrity artists. Chris has work as a leader and as a follower. From working side by side on shows containing some of the best musicians in the business, including two of the nation’s greatest Band Leaders, Jay Leno’s Band Leader, Ricky Minor and Justin Timberlake/Janet Jackson’s Musical Director, Adam Blackstone.

While touring with B.o.B., Chris was featured in Bob’s 2010 video Don’t Let Me Fall, as the pianist in his street band. Chris also studied Jazz Composition and Improvisation at Clark Atlanta University where he also won first seat in the acclaimed IAJE HBCU all-star band in which potential members would create and send an audition tape to be considered to travel and perform with the all-star unit. when Chris Moten, a musician from Decatur, saw an opportunity to blend his background playing jazz music with Atlanta’s trap sound, he seized it and never let it go. He started combining the two genres in 2015 and later created a 10-piece band, Trap Jazz All-Stars, that performs across the country. Now, his style of musical fusion will be highlighted in a new documentary, “Trap Jazz,” on the Hulu network. The bands created by Chris are relentless at how fierce and energetic the players are while performing the Artists original music both in studio and out.
