Chris Cresswell is a prominent figure in the punk rock scene, widely known as the lead vocalist and guitarist for the Canadian punk rock band The Flatliners. His career took a distinct turn with the melding of punk ethos and acoustic sensibilities, which is where his solo endeavors have primarily been focused. Born on September 5, 1987, in Canada, Cresswell's passion for music quickly propelled him from local stages to international acclaim with the rise of The Flatliners in the early 2000s.

Stepping outside the full-band dynamic, Cresswell has proven his versatility and depth as a solo artist. His most recent solo projects, such as "The Stubbornness of the Young" and "You Don't Wanna Listen to Me," are testaments to his evolving sound that leans into a more introspective and melodic approach to songwriting. In 2014, he collaborated with Joey Cape on a record titled "One Week Record," which featured songs written and recorded in a span of just one week, showcasing Cresswell's raw creativity and dedication to craft. Balancing between driving punk anthems and heartfelt acoustic pieces, Cresswell's solo work underscores a narrative of growth, both personal and as a musician, as heard in tracks like "Roam" and "Behind The Crow." His ability to connect with audiences through honest lyrics and compelling melodies makes Chris Cresswell a noteworthy artist in the modern punk and acoustic genres.
