Chris Hixon

Chris Hixon grew up in quaint, cow-infested town called Petaluma. A misfit from birth, he set his house on fire before be even learned to walk. At the age of 14 he and childhood friend, Derek Sajbel, began producing a cable access show. Their crude and confusing early narratives quickly grew in sophistication as they learned tricks of the trade, and the joys of digital video. Chris grew quite musically inclined as well, in spite of dismal failures as a piano student early in life. He composed his first original film score at age 19. His solo rock/dork band, The Baboon Torture Divison, became an outlet for his cinematic inspirations when he began producing his own music videos. During his film school years, he dissociated himself from the steady stream of pretentious student film garbage by spending much of his college career in the pro-tools lab. There he learned professional audio engineering, and the subtle craft of audio mixing. After graduating, he began working as a boom operator, and began performing more steadily with his band. He is now a respected as a prolific artist dedicated to blowing people's minds with total over-the-top intensity. From pornographic puppet shows, to absurd video games, to booty-shaking music, Chris Hixon is one of the hottest up-and-coming multi-media artists in California.
