I just love to make music, and dream about calling that my career.

My name is Christopher Allen Breidinger. My stage name is CAB. I like to consider myself a multi-talented artist, as I am a man of many talents. I'm a jack of many trades, and I am constantly working to master at least one of them. I was born in Missouri, lived in Texas, Arkansas, and Wisconsin, but have resided most of my life in Indiana. I have been married for 15 years, and have 3 children. My family is my world.

My greatest passion is music. I am a singer/songwriter. I began writing poems when I was 8, and was published in several amatuer anthologies in my early teens. At 15, I got my first electric guitar, and I taught myself how to play it. The transition from poet to songwriter was a natural step for me after that. I have had the pleasure of playing my original music at the World Famous Captain Carl's Buck Lake Ranch, Piere's Entertainment Center, and the Indianapolis 500 Festival Marathon. I have recorded my original music at Sweetwater Studios in Fort Wayne,IN. and at OmniSound Studios in Nashville, TN. I am a member of ASCAP. I have had 2 of my original songs placed in an Indie film called "Behind Bars" by Chris Bales. I have a home studio called Tangled Chord Studios, and I also record and produce, mostly just my own stuff. I run a record label called Sweet & Sick Records as my own vanity label.

I did my first remix in 2004. I approach the task much the same as I do my own song writing, and most of my remixes are really more of a rewrite. I really enjoy taking songs and transforming them into something the same but different. I hadn't remixed anything for a year or so, and then I found Indaba.com, so I decided to take up the trade again.

I was introduced to Hollywood film-making when I was 14 and was cast as an extra on the film "Hoosiers". I was a resident of the Indiana Soldier's and Sailor's Childrens Home while the movie was being filmed and they took groups of us to be in the crowds for the home games. I have since done an episode of "Psychic Detectives" on Tru TV, and have acted in a country music video called "Dodgin a Ford in My Chevrolet" by Shilo.

Currently, I am attending Full Sail University Online, getting a Bachelors of Science degree in Entertainment Business. I just received Full Sail University's Ace Award for Best Rock Song, which is my first award ever. I play original and cover music live as much as possible in my band CAB Music Company. Even with all the struggles of the times, I can't help but hold onto my hope and strive towards my personal fulfillment. My goals are many, and for now I plan to continue working on my skills, and hone my crafts until I find the opportunity that I KNOW is out there for me. Eventually, I would like to plan on opening my own business in the entertainment industry.
