BIO:

   CL has simple goals: Play great shows, record hit singles, and win over as many fans as possible. A tireless crusader for his own cause, CL's work ethic and unrelenting pursuit of excellence is unparalleled. As a songwriter, he churns out radio-friendly tunes with an Urban Pop vibe. As a live performer, he turns it up a notch with his full backup band, faithfully re-producing his music and bringing the party wherever he goes

   CL's style is a result of the genre hopping he did in the nineties. From straight up rap groups, hybrid folk/funk groups, hardcore metal bands, and funk-rock outfits, CL has tried it all, musically speaking. It didn't take him long to start melding his various influences into what has become his signature Urban Pop sound, combining breakbeats with acoustic guitars, keyboards, bass and some sax.

   By early 2001, CL was in the studio recording new tunes and hitting the local N.Y. club circuit with a live band.  Since that time he’s performed live for News 12 Long Island, played twice at Long Island mega-venue The Vanderbilt, NYC’s famed clubs Webster Hall, The Elbow Room and Le Bar Bat, and on The Core Tour at Manhattan’s South Street Seaport.  He’s performed with acts ranging from De La Soul, Sarai, Black Sheep, K-OS and Arrested Development, to Nine Days to The John Entwistle band to Catch 22, and performed at concerts for Long Island’s 92.7 WLIR and Party 105 (WXXP) radio.

   Radio has taken notice in a big way.  CL’s track “Status Quo” takes Brian’s frustrations about the current music scene, from the local to the national levels, and puts it to music.  It has just been added to full rotation on Australia’s National Alternative Powerhouse, Triple J, and already gotten radio spins on national alternative powerhouses like L.A.’s KROQ (“Catch of the Day”) and N.Y.’s 92.3 K-Rock, and has made it on to the Specialty Charts at #17 FMQB, #20 Radio and Records and #23 The Network Magazine without the help of a promotion company.  Stations include WLIR and WDRE-Long Island, WNNX- Atlanta, XTRA- San Diego, KXTE- Las Vegas, KPNT- St. Louis, WDST- Woodstock, WHRL- Albany, WMRQ- Hartford and 13 others including 2 rhythmic top 40 stations- WXXP (Party 105)- Long Island and WPKF/WFKP (Kiss FM) in Poughkeepsie.  Kiss FM was so impressed by Chaotic Lynk, they commissioned a remix of Dream’s “That’s OK” featuring a rap by CL, which was spun in heavy rotation.  He was also interviewed and had two of his other tracks played, “CL Thing” and “Leave Tonight.”
