name: Chris Porter
notes: 'Chris Porter is a composer of video game music from the United States. His
  love of game music started early in life with classic music from games such as Super
  Mario Brothers and Zelda. However, the most influential music was that which he
  heard in RPGs. The music from games like Xenogears, Wild Arms, and Final Fantasy
  had a huge impact on Chris, inspiring him to begin writing his own music in the
  style of video games. Chris began teaching himself guitar and piano in high school
  and has worked hard to develop his musical abilities ever since.

  Chris has completed soundtrack work on several commercially released games, and
  is actively composing original soundtracks to a number of others. He has also contributed
  arrangement to multiple video game tribute albums, including those released by Materia
  Collective and Patient Corgi.

  Chris graduated from the University of Michigan. While an undergraduate he spent
  ten months abroad studying at Kyushu University in Fukuoka, Japan. Fully taken by
  the language and culture, Chris decided to move back to Japan after graduating.'
