Chris Warren is a singer and musician from Toronto, Canada who has recorded three albums between 1997 and 2009. Warren's lyricism and acoustic melodic style have resonance with artists like Fiona Apple, Elliott Smith, Jon Brion, Iron and Wine.

His first album, Crazy Wisdom, explored the erratic terrain of love and relationships. Home-recorded Beautiful Ruins was a series of meditations on memory, mortality, the paradox of being human, and loneliness--a sustained tone poem American Songwriter Magazine called "a magnum opus from start to finish" CITATION NEEDED. His most recent album, Night for Day, features fellow Canadians Ron Sexsmith and Mary Margaret O'Hara. Night for Day is in some ways a tribute to some of Warren's songwriting heroes. Produced by James Paul the album features contributions from Michael Herring on upright bass, Drew Jurecka on violin and viola, Ryan Granville-Martin on drums, and keyboardists Jack Breakfast and Stacie McGregor. Ron Sexsmith duets on "Simple Grace" and there are two rare collaborative performances with Mary Margaret O'Hara in "Some Disassembly Required" and "Carry On".
