About

Chris Stark is an instrumental rock guitarist, songwriter, and studio session player based on Hawaiʻi Island. A proudly endorsed artist with Sully Guitars, Stark combines expressive melodic storytelling with decades of technical craft, building immersive soundscapes that bridge fiery rock articulation, atmospheric textures, and cinematic dynamics.

A Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award finalist for his 2019 album Electric Sky, Stark has released multiple full-length instrumental projects alongside studio tracking, live-streamed concerts, and performances with local bands, including past international tours through Asia and Europe as a hired sideman. Rooted in both academic music study and decades of stage and studio experience, his work focuses on pulling back the curtain on the creative process, sharing track breakdowns, gear reflections, and songwriting workflows with a dedicated community of listeners and fellow musicians.

"Hawaii is another place that has hardly been known for acts of note in the rockular field until now. If that be the case, then Chris Stark could be the game changer here..."

- Dave Attrill, MetalliVille Webzine

"Bearing in mind that this is Chris Stark's first release, I must say that he has come out with a very accomplished release. The album is enjoyable, especially if you like guitar instrumentals all the way through. It's consistent and without any tracks that you would feel inclined to press 'skip' for. This is well worth getting your hands on."

- Andy Brailsford, Fireworks Magazine
