Christian Laki has studied several styles of guitar, bass guitar, double
bass, piano, songwriting, lyric writing, composition, arranging, singing and
music technology with renowned Australian musicians and composers such as
Ricardo Andino, Ron Philpot, Craig Scott, Alistair Spence, Sandy Evans, Gordon
Kerry, and Anna Pimakhova at respected institutions such as The Sydney School of
Spanish Guitar, The Australian Institute of Music, Sydney Conservatorium of
Music, and University of New South Wales.
Alongside his studies, Christian spent several years playing both as a jazz and
rock musician around Sydney. As a songwriter he has had much music played on
radio and television, including music written for the last two series of Pizza
shown on SBS television and released on DVD.
Until a few years ago he fronted his own band The Chagalls who regularly
performed shows around Sydney and their debut single "Lost in Touch" received
airplay on both Triple J and SBS television as it was included in the comedy
series Swift and Shift Couriers.
After having had several of his own indie rock bands, he has now gone solo,
focusing on writing songs and music for film and television, the latest being
incidental piano music for the trailer for Lou starring John Hurt. He is now
working on an original score for award winning short film producer/director,
Keith Johnson, called 'Little Lies' to be entered in film festivals world wide
this November, starting with The Berlin Film Festival.
He currently has several contracts with sync licensing companies both in
Australia and overseas for the use of his songs and music.
He works as a full-time musician, composer, and music tutor. He writes, records,
and produces his tracks in his home studio, playing almost all instruments and
singing all parts. Recently Christian became a reviewer of songwriting
submissions for Song Central, Australia.
He has been composing, performing, and teaching for more than 30 years.
