Kris "Halo" Pierce

Kris "Halo" Pierce's life is based on the immersive experience of music. He writes the songs and plays all of the instruments. From the ground up, he builds the systems that audiences listen to music on. He's a composer, solo artist, and multi-award winning genre-crossing producer. In parallel with his career as an Avant/Pop artist and producer, Kris is also an audio tech and engineer for major events in New York City, and he is the Head Monitor Engineer at the Palladium Times Square, having mixed various acts such as Nick Cannon, Sevendust, and Dire Straits Legacy. 

Kris owns and operates Halo Askew Entertainment, a record label dedicated to eccentric electronic music curation, development, publication, and live production. Based in NYC, he doubles as a sound engineer and audio technician for hundreds of large format shows, including theatrical production audio mixing (Julie Taymor’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”), radio (Whoopi Goldberg’s “Wake Up With Whoopi”), live bands (Cyndi Lauper, James Blunt, Tori Amos), keyboard support (NBC/Universal’s Grammy and Emmy award winning “Jesus Christ Superstar Live” starring John Legend), and Broadway (Gettin The Band Back Together).
