My name is Chris Whetstone, Born in Hamilton Ontario. In my youth I fell in love with music, cartoons and various sports. I bought my first drum kit out of the paper when i was 13 and was playing in a band regularly by the age 16. I graduated High school with an overall average of 78% with the Top Technical Honours in my class. I was also the M.C. for school assemblies and the sound engineer for school production and auditorium rentals. As well as the Captain of the Football Team, i was chosen as a starter in the All-star game that year. The physical toll that football takes on the body was too great. So I pursued my other loves of music and production. I graduated from Mohawk College's Radio Broadcasting & Communications media diploma program receiving the Faculty Recognition award for " Most likely to change the industry". During my time at Mohawk i was active in both the campus newspaper "The Silhouette": and the radio station CIOI, writing reviews and hosting the Sunday afternoon radio show "THE WAKEUP CALL"  After my internship with the local independent record label / distribution company Sonic Unyon, i was hired on full time. I continued playing live shows through my college years and one night the singer of the band we opened for told me that he had a part for me in his movie. I thought it was kind of an odd thing to say, but almost two years later he called me and asked me to read for the part. I played Dale the disgruntled delivery driver in the Zombie/Comedy " Vs. the Dead". Continuing my musical pursuit, in 2003 i started the band "Bird Rentals". While playing a string of shows with a UPUPDOWNDOWNLEFTRIGHTLEFTRIGHT from New Jersey, we struck a friendship with them and decided to go down there to record in their studio "The Gradwell House". Recorded in May 2005 it was eventually released on a 7" in 2008, but by then the band had parted ways. Currently I have two projects on the go, The Dead Beat, an insturmental surf rock outfit and BORN WRONG which a lands closer to the aggressive punk rock style.
