Covert Pop
A 4-piece band based out of the Philadelphia area - a versatile band that can take any genre of music and play it with quality musicianship, energy and our very own unique Covert Pop vibe. I play bass in this band. I recently finished recording an 8 song demo, which I will release on this site soon.

Palese Music Instruction
This is a company that I worked for as a private music instructor for about 10 years between 2005 and 2015. I designed motivating and engaging music lessons incorporating fundamentals, while preparing students for recitals, concerts, college auditions, and group performances. I educated students between the ages of 4 and 70 on instruments including: guitar, bass guitar, piano, drums and voice and even conducted group lessons on multiple instruments for special needs teens.
Chris Arter Band
Chris Arter Band was a project that was active between 2004 and 2010, featuring mostly original music, as well as new arrangements of some of my favorites. Mostly a rock/pop band, there was a tinge of progressive and even jazz at times.
Every artist or band has a signature song and the song "Love" was ours. Click Here to Hear it.
