Christopher the Conquered is the bold stage persona of Iowa-born singer-songwriter Chris Ford, a flamboyant piano-pounding showman serving up soulful, theatrical rock with a vintage flair. Hailing from Des Moines, Ford channels classic influences like Elton John, Queen, and Motown-era showstoppers into his own brand of emotionally charged, keyboard-driven anthems. His catalog—including albums like *I Am Christopher* and the two-part *Songs for a New Heart* series—mixes confessional lyricism with grand arrangements, often leaning into themes of self-discovery and resilience. Known for his dynamic live performances (captured on *Audiotree Live*), he’s collaborated with artists like Max Jury and earned a reputation as a Midwest indie gem unafraid to fuse retro vibes with raw, modern storytelling.
