Born in London on March 4, 1948,
Chris Squire engaged in a highly musical

In 1968, he was introduced to aspiring tenor vocalist
Jon Anderson in a London bar, "La
Chasse". They soon found that they shared similar ideas of how music
should sound. After getting a few other musicians to join, art rock
band Yes was formed. Success for the band did not occur until 1971 and
the release of 'The Yes Album', 'Fragile' and 'Close to the Edge'. Each of which featured Chris'
innovative, complex bass riffs and tenor vocals. Squire has continued
on in Yes full term, being the only member to appear on every Yes
album. He made a solo album called 'Fish Out of Water' in 1975 at his
home studio near Virginia Water, Surrey. Chris is married and has four
daughters and a son. He lives in the USA with wife Scotty.
