- Bio:
- Chris Reed is the bandleader of Chris Reed and the Anime Raiders, 5 musicians spread out all over the globe who come together online at Chris’ direction to put together music he has written. They have been working together in this way since 2001 and have actually only all been in the same place at the same time for a few days in 2025, when they recorded their most recent full-length album, “Frankfurt am Main”.
Chris Reed has walked away from 2 separate record deals, believing fully in the ideals of being an Independent musician without the guard rails and conformity of the mainstream music industry. This allows him the freedom to record in any style and at his own pace, and bring in the rest of the band when he needs them.
Together they have won numerous awards from the Indie Music Channel, The Radio Music Awards, the Association of Independent Musicians, and have seen their music played all over the world, from the Americas to Asia to Europe to South America and beyond. Their award winning song “He Takes a Knee” was featured on the BBC when players for Manchester United started kneeling before games. Their song “Fiction” was featured in the end credits of a German television show. Snippets of tracks from their album “The Overnight Train” is featured in sleeping cars on select Japan Rail routes. Their video for “Stick Around” was featured in an independent documentary.
Their songs have been nominated for awards in Instrumental, Alternative Rock, Dance, New Age, Jazz and Rock and Roll categories by multiple groups, including the Independent Music Channel.
Chris considers San Francisco to be his home town and base of operations.

Now it's the middle of the year and we're releasing a completely improvised album of piano music, recorded secretly in a room we broke into just so that we could do this. The first single is called "Jack". This is the first of two videos.
Welcome to 2022! After 14 singles and EPs released in 2021 we're starting out the new year with a new single called "Stick Around" and a new album. The single is out January 14th and the album, "hug your local shark" is out January 21st at all the usual places.
I've deleted all the old comments.
