Chris Kuroda

Chris Kuroda was the legendary and innovative lighting designer/operator for Phish. He is considered one of the most influential and pioneering lighting designers in music history. His lighting experiments were so unique and diverse that a group of Phish fans lobbied to have Kuroda recongized as an official band member. He first worked with Phish in April 1989 and remained with the band through their entire career, which ended in 2004.

He is often regarded as the greatest lighting designer in rock music, known for his improvisation and synchronization with the music. After Phish's breakup, he was hired by The Black Crowes, VH1, and several high-profile rock festivals.

He currently works with Trey Anastasio on his current solo tour.

He attended Wilbraham and Monson Academy high school in Wilbraham, Massachusetts where his nickname was "crispy".
