Christopher Tavolazzi is a creative director, writer, musician, and artist based in Northern California. He has a passion for science, spirituality, self-development, education, and art.
Tavolazzi graduated from Chico State in 2013 with a degree in journalism and public relations. Since then he has written two books, several essays, hundreds of songs, and a lot of sales and marketing copy.
In his personal time, Tavolazzi is a recording artist and singer. His work spans many genres, from Americana and Bluegrass, to Space Country and EDM.
He has released three studio albums: a comedic bar rock anthem album "Are You Coming?" with his band Bungo, a goofy space adventure album "Buttknuckle, Vol. II: Audio Suppository" with his experimental project Buttknuckle, and an Americana ode to classic country "Cautionary Tale" under his own name, Christopher Tavolazzi, all produced by Blondillion of Kinky Rat Records.
Tavolazzi is a regular contributor to The Mandarin Magazine where he writes about topics ranging from an unexpected date with an old flame to the loss of his father.
His first book, “A Farewell to Money” is a comedic and slightly sarcastic Magic: the Gathering deck building strategy guide for intermediate level players.
His second book, "What the HELL is Crypto?" is the first installation in an educational literature series called "What the HELL is...."
Tavolazzi reached out to Wizards of the Coast for permission to publish and sell A Farewell to Money, but they said copyright prevented it. However, you can download “A Farewell to Money: How to Improve Your Magic: the Gathering Strategy” here and leave him a small donation if you want (thank you).
He also owns and operates Gentle Bull Co, a creative studio based in Northern California that provides creative services to organizations looking for affordable content, and creative opportunities to artists looking to expand and grow.
