Press Release: Reggae meets Country-Rock: Christos DC covers Heart Of Gold

The artist/ producer Christos DC (aka Christopher Vrenios) was born
and raised in Washington, D.C. by parents who sang opera and taught
voice professionally. He takes his name from his Greek heritage, using
a nickname given to him by his grandmother to represent the lineage
that set the tone of his musical path.

“The song Heart Of Gold has always had a special place in my musical
journey,” Christos explains. "One of the first song books my brother
Nick and I received was Easy Guitar: Neil Young’s Greatest Hits. We
We were around 10 years old at the time, and I immediately learned
how to play the song. Reggae has often been dubbed 'island soul,' so remaking this classic in
this genre was a no-brainer. You can go to almost any bar in Jamaica and find a jukebox play-
ing country, the blues, or classic R&B. "Music is a gift," Christos says. " When we share it, we
should consider the effect it will have on others. This is why I make honest music."

"Honest Music proves yet again to be one of the most dynamic and innovative production houses in reggae with Christos
DC's remarkable cover of Neil Young's 'Heart of Gold.' Christos' novel reimagination of this classic rock standard is skillfully
orchestrated and brilliantly executed, breathing new life into a song well worth reviving." Jah Raver ~ Midnight Raver Blog
