MEET THE TEAM

CHRIS GRIFFIN

OWNER | FOUNDER

Chris has been playing guitar and singing since he was a kid.  He has performed with several different bands around the Pacific Northwest and loves sharing his love for music with the world. In the summer of 2007, Chris launched Jam Academy as a small music school with only 6 private music instructors, but within 2 years, it expanded into the school it is today. By 2010, Jam Academy was offering lessons and rock band classes with 20 different instructors on a wide range of instruments.  Although Chris is busier than ever running the school, he still takes time to perform and teach guitar.
