DEEJAY CEEPEE

Dee Jay Cee Pee aka Chris Penn was brought to life in
San Marcos, TX 1971.  He spent his formative years
watching horror movies, riding BMX, and most
importantly listening to music.

He grew up in San Antonio, the self-proclaimed Heavy
Metal Capital of the World.  Thus, needless to say a
few Iron Maiden posters adorned his walls.  His first
concert ever was Rod Stewart on the "Blondes Have More
Fun" tour in 1978.  It has been all downhill for him
ever since.  His father initially and stepfather
enabled his journey into rock music by taking him to
countless concerts. 

CP attended Texas A&M University in College Station
and ultimately graduated in December 1994.  Whilst
there he began booking and promoting national bands at
clubs with intriguing names as The Cue, Vertigo, The
Cow Hop, 3rd Floor Cantina, and the Stafford Opera
House.  In addition to that experience he managed THE
local mom and pop record store appropriately and pun
intended named Marooned. 

In 1997 he moved to Dallas to work for one of his
favorite bands Tripping Daisy.  On the side he worked
at CD World to keep himself busy and immersed in
music.  He obviously learned more about the music
industry and even shoveled elephant poop along the
way.  Tripping Daisy disbanded in early 2000.  This
led to the rise of Good Records:  THE independent
record store in Dallas, which provides its
constituents with an adventure in listening.  Chris
Penn started the store along with Tim DeLaughter,
Julie Doyle, and Erik Courson.  It recently celebrated
its 5th anniversary, which is a feat in itself.

About 6 months after starting the store, Tim
DeLaughter embarked upon his next band The Polyphonic
Spree that Chris has helped steer along with Tim and
Julie.  The Polyphonic Spree is a choral symphonic pop
experience that must be heard and seen to believe.
Usually numbering 23 or so, The Polyphonic Spree has
toured ACROSS the globe and has appeared on The
Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Night with Conan O'
Brien, The Jimmy Kimmel Show, The Late Late Show with
Craig Kilborn, UK Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, MTV
Music Awards, and the esteemed Nobel Peace Prize
Concert.

While on the road, CP provides the soundtrack for The
Polyphonic Spree shows and afterparties they have
thrown and attended.  When not on the road with The
Polyphonic Spree, Chris enjoys collecting and playing
music for friends.  Thus it is a natural progression
for him to spread the eclectic good sounds he has
encountered with the masses.

Dee Jay Cee Pee is available for weddings, birthdays,
anniversary parties, bar mitzvahs, club bookings, and
any event you can think of.  After a thorough
consultation, Chris will tailor his playlist based
upon your requests and event.  He knows the importance
of getting what you want to make your special event
memorable and enjoyable.  He can plug right into

the event; all of this will be discussed during the
consultation.  After booking Dee Jay Cee Pee you can
rest assure that element of your event will be taken
care of by a professional and leave your hands free
for other planning.

years consumed by pop culture, Chris Penn aka Dee Jay
