Chris Carter (producer/disc Jockey)
Chris Carter is a Los Angeles-based disc jockey and music/film producer who started his music career as a founding member and bass player with alternative rock/power pop band Dramarama. After Dramarama originally split in 1994, Carter formed QM Management to manage LA pop group The Wondermints, currently best known as Beach Boy Brian Wilson's touring backing band. Until September 2006, KLSX aired Chris's Breakfast with the Beatles, America's longest-running Beatles-based radio show, on which he played almost nothing but Beatles material and commented upon the history of the group for as long as four hours every week. In November 2006, the show moved to its new Los Angeles home, KLOS-FM, which bills itself as "L.A.'s Only Classic Rock Station Since 1969," and can be heard every Sunday from 8 am to 11 am. In September 2008, Carter started a new version of Breakfast with the Beatles for Sirius XM Satellite Radio, which can currently be heard every Sunday (9AM-noon ET repeating again at Midnight ET) on the Underground Garage channel, airing on both Sirius 25 and XM 59. In December 2008, Breakfast with the Beatles debuted its new web site at breakfastwiththebeatles.com.
As a producer, Carter supervised and produced the music for the film Mayor of the Sunset Strip, a rock documentary about influential Los Angeles disc jockey Rodney Bingenheimer of KROQ-FM. In 2003, the film won “Best Documentary" in the Santa Barbara Film Festival, and was nominated for Best Documentary by the Independent Spirit Awards.
