Romain Lorenzo

Los Angeles,CA

Summary

After completing a BA in law back in my native country of France, I moved to Los Angeles and enjoyed a career that entailed many "jobs" in the music industry for the past 15 years. After being in various touring rock bands for a while, I enjoyed mainstream success as a songwriter and producer in popular music under the alias Khris Lorenz, before deciding to focus on developing a passion project of mine for the past 3 and a half years. I also work as a freelancer with many media companies, providing them with various musical content.
