Interviewer: Anthony Andujar Jr
Interviewee: Chris Chandler
Ladies, Gents, Folks, today I have a very special guest. This guy is someone that I’ve worked with as a coworker at a cafe restaurant that provided a ton of personalities every single day. Through most of the commotions that occured with guests and coworkers, this individual always kept a cool demeanor. Beneath his cool, calm exterior is an introspective individual who’s musical tastes influenced his entire trajectory. During our time working together, we would talk about music, anime, and movies and just have a heck of a time joking around and having introspective conversations that really cemented our deep respect for one another. This guy is an up and coming music producer, a determined individual, and a genuine soul. Everyone, please welcome Chris Chandler!
