About.

     Introducing the Bay Areas own Hip Hop Artist/ Digital Cinematographer Chris Perkins.” Chris, formerly know as Vitamin C, a Motown/Mojazz Recording Artist, emerged on the secular music scene over 15 years ago working with Hip Hop Jazz recording artist J-Spencer, Times 3, Dina D, Ben B Hard and many other rap artist and musicians. Born and raised in Oakland Ca, Chris established himself in the music industry as a rapper turned producer/writer who lived life “on stage”. Today he is one of only few Hip Hop artist dedicated to changing lives and changing the mindset of our newer generation. Believing that there is power in the tongue, Chris turned his negative rap style into a positive lifestyle in an effort to give back some of what he may have taken during his negative reign in the industry. His latest project titled "Offstage" Takes you on a positive Hip Hop journey beyond the spotlights. Positive, yet still “Street”. He believes that music was meant to heal, not kill.

 

     Today Chris has taken his talent into a new arena. He believes that being different is the key to being YOU! After teaching himself how to record and edit video footage on a professional level, he began to film weddings and events as a side hobby. Chris realized that his vision for editing videos was totally different from the norm. Every project was not about the visual and special effects, but about the feeling you get when you watch it. This led to the birth of a new career, which  was totally different from the rest of the industry.

His motto is "IF I CAN'T FEEL IT, I CAN'T FILM IT".

Chris checked himself into a course given by New Your Alternative Film school, so he could learn all he would need to know about filming and editing on a professional level. After passing the class, the journey began.

Chris Perkins AKA "Vyto" AKA "Kristophe", will bring a "Fresh Coat Of Paint" to motion pictures.

The latest CD release “Offstage is a breath of fresh air to the music industry”.

This CD combines an unusual blend of street flow with head banging grooves in such a way where all ages can enjoy.

“The Real You Shines Offstage"Smooth Hip Hop/R&B style music under powerful positive lyrics with a delivery that demands attention are the make up of Chris Perkins’ senior project “OFFSTAGE". A positive rapper with a positive lyrical message reaching the neighborhoods and taking no short cuts to do it.
