““Singer-songwriter Chris Ho is like a character out of a Wes Anderson film: quirky, deliberate, a full deck of hearts tucked up his sleeve.””

“‘For Now’ is a song that comes at a height of many similar contemporaries. Chris Ho doesn’t walk in line with the rest waiting for his due. He strides confidently with a sense of class attached to his charmingly influenced roots.”
— A&R Factory
“‘Places You’ve Been’ is a skillful assortment of eight distinctive yet similarly styled folk-rock tracks. Most of the songs are built on a strikingly simple acoustic framework of guitar and piano that grounds the music and shifts focus to the lyrics, playing to Ho’s strength of storytelling.”
— nick rassenti, rocktographerS
“Sometimes all you need is a good story. Singer-songwriter Chris Ho clearly knows this, as he’s got the whole storytelling bit down to an art, as shown throughout his newest record.”

“Despite a varying mixture of genres, with Chris Ho’s narrative voice proving to be powerful one and musical talents apparent, City of Dust is a debut record that’s one to hear”
— Gray Owl Point
“Chris Ho’s “Everything is Endlessness” is a wonderfully realised track that explores themes of self-expression against warm, acoustic flows and powerful buildups. With an earthy contemporary folk vibe, his vocals are instantly welcoming, addictive, and playful.”
