After high school, Chris moved to the Bluegrass State to attend college at Western Kentucky University in order to continue his relationship with his high school sweetheart, Abby. Taking with him his Pawpaw’s bass guitar and amp, he set off to WKU where he studied music more formally. He gave his first live solo performance at the Army base at Fort Campbell, Kentucky in 1999, and also received some other once-in-a-lifetime performance opportunities throughout, like singing with vocal group Take 6, opening for Bill Mallonee & The Vigilantes, and performing live at the 2000 Dove Awards in the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville. But it was here in college where Chris learned the secrets to writing a good song, and which inevitably solidified his decision to become the full-time professional songwriter and performer he is today.

Over the years, Chris has found musical inspiration in artists that range the musical gamut from Bruce Hornsby, Christopher Cross, Kirk Franklin, Michael Jackson, Jeff Buckley, Tears For Fears, Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys, and Bryan Adams, just to name a few.

Hudgins was also a primary creative force behind Scrapyard Lullaby, an indie-electronic pop band he co-founded and fronted with Hannah Jackson in 2010. In 2010 the Independent Music Awards nominated his song “Baby” for Best Love Song, where it won the popular vote. Hudgins has also performed under the stage name of BadFelon, during which time he honed his current sound in production.

More recently, Chris is active in the Lubbock music scene and regularly performing throughout the region. Chris also teaches music to the younger generation as a vocal/ensemble coach and songwriting teacher in the South Plains College Creative Arts Department, and collaborates with other Texas artists like hip-hop artist David Morgan (who makes appearances on the tracks “Made It” and “Life Is What You Make It.”), creative super-couple Scott and Amy Faris, singer Gigi Hess (a songwriter on “Fallin’ For You”), and country band TexWestus.

Throughout his journey, he has worked tirelessly to learn about marketing and how he can utilize it to enhance his fan base and his sales. Join us as he shares what he's learned and walk away with some great tools to enhance your own fan base.
