Born near Seattle, Christopher enjoyed a multinational upbringing as he was raised all around the world, with his family never spending more than a couple of years in any one location - a life experience that is evident in his cosmopolitan musical compositions. At the start of his career, performing on the New York Club scene, Christopher found himself in the same melting pot with artists such as Tears For Fears, INXS, and Simple Minds. Over the years, Christopher's visionary style has developed and matured - always remaining enigmatic, yet keeping a focus on creative songwriting... Syncopated Gothic Groove Rock... Syncopated with a danceable groove, echoing The Police without the Reggae undertones, even at times touching upon Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music. Gothic?... Well, yes... and no. In fact, it is actually easier to describe what this music is not. It is not Goth, Hard Rock, nor Heavy Metal. It is not Blues Rock, Jazz Rock, and really not even Progressive Rock as most people think of it. Although Sluka is affected by true gothic style, architecture, mood, history, and the Kafka-esque psychology of Bohemia, from where the name Sluka originates and from where some of his ancestors emigrated two centuries ago,... and although often lyrically he lives in a world of melancholy, Sluka is not Goth. It is not easy to categorize Sluka and so it must simply fall into the catchall genre of Rock. Clearly influenced by many diverse artists, it is inspired, emotional, professionally produced, melodic, well aware of and resigned to the harsh realities of life, and yet ultimately... extraordinarily... hopeful.
