With a soulful, lyrical approach to life’s deep moving waters and developed instrumentation, Reflektiv moves from art rock expressionism to hard rock swagger with deft ability and impassioned direction. Having seen them at a well-attended VooDoo Lounge on a Wednesday night, I feel qualified to state that the band draws a dedicated core audience and that they are making moves to generate an expansive fan base with their contagious energy. At times reminiscent of “Ten” era Pearl Jam, Reflektiv also reflects “Pablo Honey” era Radiohead, and the expressive depth of Alice in Chains singer Layne Staley’s side project Mad Season, all of which are listed as influences on the band’s myspace. The homage is tasteful, and their direction promises a succinct niche for Reflektiv in San Jose and the greater Bay Area. - JC Haydon

Artist Biography: Chris Jaiden
Multi-talented artist, producer, singer, songwriter Chris Jaiden is on the cutting edge of an American music revolution.
Originally from Philadelphia, PA, Chris now resides in Hollywood, California. A blend of East meets West Coast styles, his musical talents range from his roots of rock and roll to hip-hop hooks and rhymes, his keen and perfected engineering and production skills, as well as his amazing songwriting abilities.
A great performer organically, Chris Jaiden brings back a refreshing feeling of old school to new school kinetic energy to all of his music. His projects include his band Reflektiv, his work with Bay Area Hip Hop artist, Sean Blak, his electronic rock solo project called The Flu, to his productions and engineering on his own tracks as well as other strong local emerging artists.
With a grass-roots beginning of playing live acoustic shows and open-mics, Chris brings a unique and seasoned youthful understanding of what it takes to truly make it in the music industry. His style and lyrics are intense, like him, offering a connection of mind and soul to audiences everywhere. “I feel like when I perform, I encapsulate an audience with a flow of positive energy and driving, soulful rhythm,” says Chris. Chris’s at times unearthly, strong soulful vocals reach within the spirit of his audience to take the listener on a journey through timeless, modern classics in the making.
Chris symbiotically infuses his entrepreneurial spirit into his company, Jaiden Enterprizes which focuses primarily on his projects as well as other artists. His background of business and marketing from his education at Penn State University, allowed Chris to quickly implode the Hollywood music and entertainment scenes with his ability to connect with not only his audience, but his peers and business partners as well.
Chris’s music brings global consciousness and hope to all of his audiences through his lyrics and vocal deliverance. His musical genius combined with his life well lived-and-learned is what fuels the fire behind the soul of this artist and star, eternally on fire, spreading and shining his light through his muse-ical contributions to our culture.
