Kris Spiteri has been studying the piano since the age of 9. When he was only fourteen years of age he was performing in local venues all over the island, together with appearances on TV and Radio stations. Even though Kris played with different Rock bands, including the popular bands Syndrome and Quicksand his main love is for Jazz music. In 2004 the Edward Debono foundation gave him the opportunity to attend the jazz course at Canford Summer School of Music in England. In July 2005 he attended the Berklee Summer School in collaboration with Umbria Jazz Clinics. In the same year he was commissioned by St. James Cavalier to compose seven pieces inspired by the last seven words of Jesus Christ. The work was performed in the Passiontide festival of that same year and repeated in 2006. Kris was also one of the Maltese artists to play in the Malta Jazz Festival 2006 with some of his original works, together with the band Noir.
