This led him to be picked up by the illustrious duo Tube & Berger and their labels Kittball and ZEHN Records. This is where he quickly began to level up his own production skills and DJ game.
In 2019, Chris started his YouTube mix series and was able to pick up a hefty amount of 50 million views since then.
