An Intimate Conversation with Chris Tharp: The Melodic Heartbeat of Myrtle Beach
Introduction:
We sat down with Chris Tharp, a name that resonates in the corridors of Myrtle Beach's music scene. Chris's journey, marked by passion and resilience, offers a unique perspective into the life of an independent artist.
Passion for Art:
Chris's love for art isn't confined to just music. From film and game design to animation and painting, he's always been drawn to artistic expressions. "I'm designed to be an artist at heart," he shares. This innate love for artistry led him to music, a medium where he could channel his emotions and experiences.
The Catalyst:
Life's trials often shape an artist's journey. For Chris, a significant relationship that spanned over five years came to an end, plunging him into a period of introspection and melancholy. This phase, while challenging, became a fertile ground for creativity. "At first, I was writing sad songs for a long time," he recalls. But every cloud has a silver lining, and for Chris, this period birthed numerous songs, each echoing his personal journey.

In the world of music, equipment plays a pivotal role. Chris's setup, a blend of hand-me-downs and personal choices, reflects his adaptability. He uses a unique rig setup, positioning a single PA system behind him at an angle, allowing him to monitor his sound. This approach, while unconventional, showcases his commitment to delivering an authentic sound experience.
