來自舊金山，菲律賓裔的美國歌手
透過youtube開始把自己創作發聲到全世界
在自家創作、錄音獨立製片
以吉他做為主要創作的樂器，偏向Acoustic.Pop.Folk曲風
5歲開始談琴從觀察中學樂理
10歲加入軍樂隊(鑼鼓喧天那種)
13歲時從他哥哥那邊學習DJ
在他居住Huntington一帶開始出名，大家開始叫他DJ Cendasa
20歲時自己無師自通跟朋友一起玩吉他
他現在也在他住的Morgantown地方駐唱。
當網友跟他索取樂譜時，他回答網友，他的譜都在腦海裡
而靈感來自"My sister, Janelle, and the Lord."
他靈魂裡注入了滿滿的音符,正是上帝給他的恩賜。
我第一次聽到Velvet Fingertips Original的版本
不知怎麼的，主歌才剛進第一句，close your eyes,tell me what you see....
god damn....馬上掀起我敏感的心，I can feel him!!!
持續醞釀這種很奇妙的感動
一直到進入副歌，一瞬間累積的感受，讓我胸口感到非常悶熱!
不知怎麼形容那種想哭的感覺
是那個合旋正是我的罩門?亦或他的情感打動了我?
這首歌還很酷的巧妙運用身邊的物品當作樂器
敲擊吉他音箱+guiro(葫蘆鋸琴，長得像洗衣板的那種樂器)+鑰匙
正符合Acoustic的精神，一層一層疊上音軌。
他的音樂就像是鄰家男孩隨處可見的親切
這種非抒情的情歌，能讓人毫無壓力之下完整的touch
這就是Chris Cendana的獨特魅力
溫暖貼近真實的音樂!

推薦我最喜歡的2首歌
When The Lights Burn Out (Original)
When it's cold, i think of you and things feel like old times
And the laughs we had warm me inside
my mind is at ease
when thinking of you and me
Had a fight on our last go round
No idea my world would come right down
With nothing left to hold
It crazy to know, you'd still be there
And I want you to know, I'll be here till my hair falls out
and shining when the lights burn out
I know it's been while but I can't help smile
When you turn my world upside down
Yes, I know it's been years since we've talked on the phone this long
And didn't say who was wrong
Let's try to make this right
I need some of you in my life
Take some time to reflect on the day that our friendship was set aside
By the words that got mixed up in my mind
A simple flaw is enough to destroy us all
I admit I was wrong, but dragging this out too long
Was enough for me to write this song
And say I'm sorry for all the things I've done.
And I want you to know, I'll be here till my hair falls out
and shining when the lights burn out
I know it's been while but I can't help smile
When you turn my world upside down
Yes, I know it's been years since we've talked on the phone this long
And didn't say who was wrong
Let's try to make this right
I need some of you in my life
Velvet Fingertips(Original)
close your eyes
tell me what you see
is it you alone standing
awaiting patiently
you know i love to guess what you're thinking
it's fun, don't you agree?
to try to play a psychic
to such a mystery
when i close my eyes
i fly above the trees
so i can watch the sun
crash into the sea
running through the clouds
breathing in the breeze
oh, how it soothes
(chorus)
if you only knew
what you do to me
or feel what i can do
or see what i can see
i feel i'm next to you
when i fall asleep
when i think of you
don't try to use a knife
to get inside my head
cause if you truly loved me
you'd care if i was dead
you know i love to joke
if i didn't
i would not be me
but if you were a book
who know what i could read
cause when i close my eyes
i can feel your lips
kiss the perfect parts
like velvet fingertips
relaxing on the sand
the wine we have to sip
is so very sweet
PS.最近他訂婚了，他的求婚影片超令人感動
