Chris Pierce believes in the "healing powers of music". He was struck with a rare hearing disorder called Otosclerosis when in High School that led to the loss of hearing in one ear, a setback that would deter many young musicians forever. Since, Chris Pierce has shared worldwide stages with Seal, B.B. King, Al Green, Aaron Neville, Toots and the Maytals and many more refusing to let partial deafness to keep him from doing what he does loves the most, make music.
