Biography

Chris Stein is an American musician, songwriter, producer, and photographer, known for co-founding the new wave band Blondie. Born in Brooklyn in 1950, he joined the Stillettoes as guitarist in 1973, then left in 1974 with several bandmates to form Blondie, which became a fixture of the punk and new wave scene around CBGB and Max's Kansas City and found international stardom by the end of that decade. He was the sole writer of Sunday Girl and co-wrote hits including Heart of Glass, Dreaming, and Rapture, and he ran the Animal Records label from 1982 to 1984. He wrote the soundtrack for Union City (1980), was a producer and performer on the soundtrack of Wild Style (1982), and co-hosted the public-access show TV Party from 1978 to 1982. His books include Chris Stein / Negative: Me, Blondie, and the Advent of Punk (2014) and the memoir Under a Rock (2024). Blondie broke up in 1982 and reformed in 1997.
