Chris Boardman, of Chris Boardman Music (not the bicycle racer) is an American film composer, producer, arranger, orchestrator, songwriter, and recording artist.

Born April 29, 1954 Boardman asked his parents for a piano for his fourth birthday. His parents rented a piano. The day the piano arrived Boardman sat down and began playing. Exhibiting a remarkable ability to play anything he heard, his teacher suggested to his parents that they wait until he was able to read before they began formal lessons. Beginning formal training at age 7 Boardman performed Chopin's "Minute Waltz" at age 8, and Chopin Ab Ballade at age 10. At age 11 he auditioned for Juilliard. He was accepted but, because the family lived in Los Angeles his family decided against sending him to New York alone.
