Biography

Chris Squire, a renowned musician, was born on March 4, 1948, in the vibrant city of London. His childhood was filled with a profound appreciation for music, as he had the opportunity to sing in the distinguished youth choir at St. Paul's. This early exposure to music had a profound impact on his future endeavors.

Fast forward to 1968, when Chris met Jon Anderson, a talented tenor vocalist, in a London bar called "LaChasse". The two musicians discovered that they shared a similar vision for the sound of music, and this chance encounter would ultimately lead to the formation of the iconic art rock band, Yes.

With the addition of a few other skilled musicians, Yes was officially born, and although the band didn't experience immediate success, their hard work and dedication would eventually pay off. The release of "The Yes Album", "Fragile", and "Close to the Edge" in 1971 marked a significant turning point in the band's career, with Chris's innovative and complex bass riffs and tenor vocals taking center stage.

Throughout his illustrious career with Yes, Chris has been a constant presence, appearing on every album the band has released. In addition to his work with Yes, Chris also released a solo album called "Fish Out of Water" in 1975, which was recorded at his home studio near Virginia Water, Surrey.

In his personal life, Chris is married and has four daughters and a son. He currently resides in the USA with his wife, Scotty.
