Who Is Chris Ballew, and How Did He Get to Where He Is Today

at 1:01

From the episode: Caspar Babypants. Raising kids and finding yourself.

Answer

Chris always knew that he wanted to make music, and the type of music that matched his personality. He didn't want to maybe put on a costume for anybody. Although his rise to fame was with The Presidents of the United States of America, that was not what he truly wanted to create. A little voice inside Chris's head was telling him to keep looking.

After he broke up the Presidents, he tried all sorts of different things and then finally settled on music for kids. The destination was this simple, innocent music for kids and their parents.
