About J Chris
These lessons are designed for serious pop singers and working professionals. I work with artists who are ready to get signed, improve their stamina on tour, safely extend their chest-voice range, and sing with the right balance of story, power, and pitch.
My students sign record deals, appear on “The Voice,” “America’s Got Talent,” and “American Idol,” land leading roles on Broadway, television, and film, and make an impact throughout the music business.
These lessons are designed to turn hard-earned talent into real achievement.
I am deeply involved in the music industry, working on records with John Legend, Kanye West, Madonna, Missy Elliott, Kelly Clarkson, JoJo, UK groups Mis-Teeq and The Corrs, Russian superstar Sasha, and jazz guitarist John McLaughlin. My international credits also include Vietnamese phenom Thuy “Top,” Brazilian pop artist Labanca, and boy band P9. Independent live-recording credits include The New Pornographers, Ben Kweller, The Veils, Peter Bjorn and John, Blonde Redhead, Art Brut, and many others.
As a clinician, I have appeared with Antares, Propellerhead, Avid, M-Audio, and other major manufacturers at trade shows, international conferences, and dealer-training events. I was also a featured producer and engineer at MixCon, sponsored by SonicScoop and The Deli Magazine.
I have taught at New York University for more than 15 years and am currently an adjunct faculty member.
I work from Engine Room Audio in Manhattan’s Financial District.
I love watching students discover their own power. My purpose is to encourage, challenge, energize, and empower people to pursue what they are capable of achieving. Music is where I do that best.
I create a safe, focused, and nurturing environment where students can be honest about where they are, where they want to go, and what it will take to get there.

Lessons are held online via Zoom.
After an initial consultation, we begin with repertoire you already know and feel comfortable singing. This allows us to focus on Story, Power, and Pitch, in that order.
Many vocal tools and techniques developed for traditional styles simply do not translate to professional pop singing. High notes choke off, breath disappears, and your throat feels itchy or scratchy after singing powerfully for an extended period. Pop music is its own style, with its own sound and its own techniques.
Imagine safely and cleanly extending your chest-voice range by five or six notes. Start with your highest comfortable chest-voice note now, then imagine the possibilities if you could sing nearly half an octave above it.
These lessons are for industry professionals and aspiring professionals. I also train dedicated young artists beginning around age nine or ten, and I specialize in developing artistry for the music business as it exists today.
For more than 20 years, professional artists have found this to be a safe, nurturing, and restorative environment. The results speak for themselves: Billboard chart success, record deals, national television appearances, film roles, song placements, and long-term careers in the global music business.
When choosing a qualified pop vocal coach, these standards should be non-negotiable:
Your throat should never hurt.
Your throat should never feel itchy, ticklish, or scratchy while singing.
Singing should never leave you hoarse. If it does, stop immediately.
Your neck should never hurt or feel swollen.
You should always be treated with respect.
In-studio vocal-coaching sessions are available in Manhattan. Additional fees apply.

“One of the best feelings when learning voice is having a breakthrough moment—when you feel you’ve grasped a concept which has boosted your singing to a new level. After only working with Chris for a few months, I’ve had breakthrough after breakthrough, and I’m gaining a confidence in my ability to sing that I’ve never had before.”
— Gabe Klavun, professional songwriter“Chris Griffin changed my voice and life with his techniques and the way I see myself as an artist. ”
— Maira Labanca, Brazilian pop artist and Instagram Celebrity“Chris Griffin has completely evolved my vocal abilities and performance. Within my second lesson, I was already more confident and expanding my range beyond my expectations. His genuine support and foundations have changed the way I approach music. Couldn’t have asked for a better mentor as an artist.”
— Elia Esparza, professional vocalist (The Voice, American Idol, La Voz), songwriter, and Instagram Influencer.“Chris Griffin has opened my eyes to an entirely new way of singing, performing, and embodying who I am as an artist. He has not only been my mentor and inspiration, but also a friend to whom I will always look up.”
