Chris Salih was born in Texarhana, Texas in september 1985. He lived his entire childhood in his home state, where he graduated from Texas High School in 2004. Chris moved to Columbus around 2006 where he continued his college studies in Marketing at Capital University. From about 2008 to 2010, Chris worked at Guitar Center where he met [[Josh Dun]]. | |||
Chris met [[Tyler Joseph]] at a party through a mutual friend where he suggested to Joseph that they play together when he set up a studio in the basement of the house Chris was living in. He knew Tyler before that and had seen some of his performances. He said in an interview that Joseph was a gifted vocalist and played the piano well. The first rehearsal took place in the middle of 2008, where the friends played well together and Chris said they should form a band, to which Joseph readily agreed. In 2009 Chris left college to focus on the band and making music. |
