About Christopher Laird Simmons:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Christopher Simmons has been a working journalist since 1984 when he sold his first music industry article to POLYPHONY magazine (purchased by MIX and became Electronic Musician). Later writing for diverse pubs including Computer Player, Digital Imaging, Micro Publishing News, Spazz, the Graphic Artist\u2019s Guild newspaper, among many others. He has been widely interviewed on topics related to technology, marketing, health and entertainment.<\/p>\n

His full-time gig is acting as CEO and founder of NEOTROPE\u00ae and its PR brand Send2Press\u00ae.<\/p>\n

As a musician he played in several bands in the \u201880s including PROJECT 11 and PETS GONE WILD (featured in the LA Times \u201cCalendar\u201d section and an LA Weekly \u201cBand Name of the Week\u201d).<\/p>\n

He released numerous indie cassette albums in the 1980s under the moniker, BLUETOY. His music has been played on late night space radio stations, and positively reviewed in Electronic Musician and \u2018zines like SYNE. A CD of his music from the mid \u201880s was released on Neotrope\u00ae Records<\/a> in 2000, \u201cBESERKER.\u201d The album is still available on most streaming platforms (albeit in horribly recompressed form).<\/p>\n

His music has been used for two cable TV productions in the late 1980s in California: the award-winning \u201cVIDKIDCO\u201d and \u201cViewpoints on Video\u201d from the Long Beach Museum of Art.<\/p>\n

He is quoted in two music books: \u201cMusic Business For Dummies\u201d (ISBN: 978-1119049654) and \u201cThe Artist\u2019s Guide to Success in the Music Business\u201d (ISBN: 978-1608325788), both by music industry veteran Loren Weisman. Simmons is one of the quoted business experts in \u201cCareer and Corporate Cool\u201d (ISBN: 978-0470120347) by branding expert Rachel C. Weingarten.<\/p>\n

Simmons has some minor notoriety for having published two highly popular genre fanzines: in the late 1970s, \u201cThe Adama Journal\u201d – and late 1980s, \u201cGalaxy Class.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chris is no relation to a Canadian pianist of the same name, another electronic musician of the same name, nor a graphic artist based in San Francisco, also of same name. Recently he began using his full name to better differentiate himself from the brothers from another mother.<\/p>\n
