Band Biography for christiaan webb:

Eldest son of the songwriting legend Jimmy Webb (Witchita Lineman, Galveston, By The Time I get To Phoenix), Christiaan first came to public attention as part of The Webb Brothers, a band he formed with his younger brother, Justin. In 1998, the demo album 'Beyond the Biosphere' was release to critical in the U.K. and was quickly picked up by London-based labeel Easy!Tiger Records and released the following year. The Webb Brothers then signed with Warner Music and the album 'Maroon' was released to critical and commercial success in 2000. Touring extensively, the brothers built a strong fan base in the UK that continues to this day.

2003 saw the release of the eponymous Webb Brothers album (as well as recruitment of brother James), showcasing the versatility and depth of Christiaan's songwriting. In 2009, the brothers joined their father to form 'Jimmy Webb and the Webb Brothers', releasing the reflective, mature-sounding 'Cottonwood Farm' (Proper Music).

Following this collaboration, Christiaan began work on the songs that form A Man Possessed, partly inspired by the writing of Don Miguel Ruiz.
