Chris Annibell

Chris Annibell is a musician, DJ, producer, electronic music educator, and multimedia technologist whose work centers on the power of music to connect people and communities. His approach to music and education is rooted in creativity, collaboration, diversity, and representation.

Central to Annibell’s practice is the belief that musical diversity brings people together. By connecting musical dots and cross-pollinating rhythms, traditions, and practices from global music cultures, he creates spaces and music where different musical languages coexist, interact, and inform one another—inviting people to hear and experience our connectedness through music.

Throughout his career, Annibell has worked across the stage, studio, and DJ booth, producing, remixing, and performing alongside an eclectic range of artists, including Bonobo, Gilles Peterson, Ben Watt's Everything But the Girl, Thievery Corporation, Quantic, Kenny ‘Dope’ Gonzalez's Masters at Work, Bernie Worrell's Parliament-Funkadelic, Astor Piazzolla, DJ Spinna, N’Dea Davenport's The Brand New Heavies, Vieux Farka Touré, Ustad Sultan Khan, Nova Lima, and Afrosideral.

As an educator, Annibell brings decades of professional experience in music production, DJ culture, performance, and music technology into the classroom. He has taught at Berklee Online, Oberlin Conservatory, and the Roc Nation School of Music at Long Island University, helping emerging artists develop their creative voices while connecting contemporary music-making practices to the cultural histories that shaped them.
