At a very early age, Krazy Kris realized how much he enjoyed singing and entertaining people. In school, he participated in choir, musicals, and plays, and seriously considered a career in music upon graduation, but life intervened and, instead, he worked for 20 years in a factory. But he never forgot his love of music and he constantly tried to think of ways to make it his career.

He started going out to karaoke shows and found that he loved it. “What a cool deal to be able to sing whatever you want -- to entertain people and have others entertain you. I’d like to do this.” He found his start with a local DJ, and after six years, decided to go out on his own. He wanted to expand his associations with other DJ companies and organizations like the Indianapolis Wedding Professionals Network and MGS DJs.

In his youth, he was especially influenced by Elvis Presley: The man, the music, the movies. It is from this influence that he was inspired to establish Krazy King Productions in June of 2000.

Krazy Kris credits his success to the belief that customer service is key. He prides himself on getting out from behind the player, becoming part of the family, making the guests feel comfortable. “No matter how big or small the job is, every job has to be your best.”
