Chris has always had an ear for music, interest in lyrics, and desire to write songs. So much so that in 2022 he joined Twitch, submitted song ideas to some livestreams, and saw/heard them turned into songs on air. From there he joined FAWM’s world-famous 50/90 lyric writing challenge—one that he aced penning 51 lyrics in less than 90 days. And he wrote it all—love song to pop, rock to country (e.g., “No Longer Us” https://youtu.be/gaeWiLsFW-I?feature=shared ), metal to rap. A few collabs and skirmishes done during that first 50/90, too—whether Chris put lyrics to another FAWMer’s music, or other FAWMers added music/vocals to his original writes (e.g., “Down at the Riverbed” https://youtu.be/tSfPYQvipuM?feature=shared )—he looked to pen more. So, in Feb 2023, Chris joined up for his first FAWM (February Album Writing Month) on that same platform, and wrote his first concept rock album PUPPET MASTER—i.e., 14 lyrics (for it) in 28 days, with some as ballads (e.g., “My One and Only” https://youtu.be/BFjkQyMHlbk?feature=shared ), others heavy hitting (e.g., “Puppet Master” https://youtu.be/I9Fu1hNkDFk?feature=shared ), and all thought provoking with connection in a key, puzzling way. And still other FAWM 50/90 lyrics of Chris’ (e.g., “When You’re Loved” https://youtu.be/PUC3ibrpNXo?feature=shared ), have been turned into song by FAWMers.

Having joined TisT by way of a Facebook ad that crossed his timeline back in May 2023, Chris jumped onto the lyric-writing 50+ platform’s stage with a mind ready to write. Soon after, he posted original lyrics, managed collabs with another creative (e.g., on “Heart Keys” https://youtu.be/umwGLwdVORk?feature=shared ) to bring more of his easy- listening material to song life on the site, took part in TisT song chains—including TisT’s first-ever September ’23 (“What You Wanted”) chain with his catchy drum rock tune “Better Days” ( https://youtu.be/hxjeOscUiaU?feature=shared ), answered the TisT call—with his spoken word, human Acapella submission “Kiki” ( https://youtu.be/3Re4-vqni_w?feature=shared ), i.e., an ode to Sir Paul, re: the Beatles’ “Here, There and Everywhere” and of its connection to Chris—to take part in its Paul McCartney tribute page, and even added full lyrics (i.e., Chris’ “Words Most True” write ( https://youtu.be/FRWA536K15s?feature=shared ) to another TisTers “melody only” for an August ’23 TisT melody-to-lyric writing challenge.

Later going on to write and perform his rockin’ acoustic, addiction-themed song “I Want That” ( https://youtu.be/65mfX8wia8s?feature=shared ), as both a TisT song chain original and his TisT ’24 contest entry—despite Chris having, originally, just joined the lyric-writing platform as a “songwriter only,” and not as a “guitarist, singer-songwriter”—Chris has been living what he calls a carpe diem lyric-writer’s mantra, and his TisT time continues to show that, as well as his You Tube channel where postings of his latest 2024 FAWM 50/90 original songs and collabs, and his FAWM (Feb Album Writing Month 2025) original lyrics to songs videos like his haunting “Run” collab https://youtu.be/YUfBSK5Bz5M?feature=shared can be found, as well as many of his other works here: https://www.youtube.com/@ChrisBuonoWrites .
