Hi there! I’m currently a performance artist and musician based in Cleveland. I’m also a lead risk assessor, small business consultant and private math tutor. I spent over a decade in big data, analyzing patterns and seeking logic and I have a masters in statistics that I now mostly use to overanalyze my interactions with other humans.

I’ve noticed over the years that I’m more drawn to the spaces where the structures that I’m used to operating in begin to break down—where emotion takes over and art gets messy. My work reflects that shift: sometimes unhinged, sometimes calm, but always real. My art is designed to make you feel— then release. It is cathartic, often loud, intense, and at moments, chaotic. Slugg, my latest project, combines experimental sound with harsh techno to confront the uncomfortable, raw, and real.

I have presented original work at Pandemonium, Borderlight International Festival, Ingenuityfest, Black Mass, Elsewhere Museum and Maelstrom Collaborative Arts. I love to create and collaborate and would love any opportunity to do so. Feel free to contact me if interested: krissmillss@gmail.com


Have a hell of a day.
