His voice has been featured in campaigns for Google, Amazon, BBC, NHS, Dulux, Dr Pepper, Sky, and BMW, cementing his reputation as a voice trusted by millions.
“I’ve always believed that the best communicators understand both the art and the science of connection,” Chris explains. That philosophy has guided him from grassroots radio to international recognition.
