 Hi, my name is Chris Tyra, and I am a freshman at Converse. For most of my life I played soccer and I have always listened to music since I was 5.

My parents got me into music, and they always used to tell me that music is what connects people and others around them. I was originally born in Russia but now I live in Greer, SC.
