Christian James Hand is a British musician, music producer, radio personality and voice artist. Born in Tittensor, England on January 29, 1969, his family moved to Botswana, Africa. The family moved back to the UK and lived in London until moving to Port Jefferson, Long Island, New York.

Hand attended State University of New York at Purchase (Purchase State College). While there, he was instrumental in revamping its college radio station, WPUR (now WPSR). Upon graduation from Purchase State University, Hand was offered a job to tour with P.M. Dawn part as of the World of Music, Arts and Dance (WOMAD) Festival with Peter Gabriel headlining. His official title was drum technician although he was originally hired as a lighting tech.

He started work with British hip‐hop Label, Gee Street Records, as an A&R (artists & repertoire) assistant. In 1993, he went on to become the stage manager for The Gravediggaz while they toured together with public enemy, Gangstarr, Ice Cube and others. Given the moniker of MC Skullcap, he
performed with The Gravediggaz in place of RZA on part of their European tour. He left to become overnight DJ slot using the name “Chase.” Being promoted to afternoon drive after a few months, Hand began to work with Mike Savage on groundbreaking electronica show, “X107 Hardhouse.” When the WRGX changed format to country, he transferred across the nation to sister station Y107 (KLYY) in Los Angeles.

Hand joined Sirius XM “Faction” channel as the overnight DJ as well as afternoons on “Alt Nation.” He would also contribute to the Jason Ellis Show on occasion. During this time, Hand and Ellis came up with the ”Naked Vocals” segment, where only the vocal parts to a classic rock song are isolated.
Hand took that segment and expanded upon it as guest on the Mark in the Morning show on KSWD 100.3 The Sound. He introduced the host and co‐hosts to Marvin Gaye’s “Heard It Through the Grapevine” down to all of its individual tracks, not just the vocals. Hand would continue to be a guest on
the morning show doing these music dissections. During this time, he started to do live music breakdowns called The Sound Sessions at Swing House once a month.

When Hand did his dissection of Toto’s Rosanna, it received national attention by Guitar World magazine’s website. He was given his own one hour show on 100.3 The Sound titled “If You Like That” that appeared Sunday nights at 9:00pm. The concept was to introduce listeners to new music by
coupling it with a similar themed or sounding classic rock tune.

Today, Hand can heard on Sunday nights at the legendary 95.5 KLOS, where his one hour show, The Session, reteams him with Mike Savage as they do one hour long breakdowns similar to the live shows, which he continues to do, renamed The CJH Sessions. He continues to expand his live shows beyond the Los Angeles area.

Among the artists and groups he has produced are The Mowgli’s, Alexa Melo, The Jet Morgans, The Absolute, Analog Saint, and Mark Mackay, along with many others.
