Album Notes

Chinbaa's "Immortality" is a collection of compelling original music that seemlessly blends the ethnicity of his Mongolian roots with comtemporary American Jazz/Rock/Fusion. "Immortality" spans various musical palletes that range from an agressive and powerful Art-Rock to an emotionally relaxing Smooth Jazz, while a few of the compositions borrow from 18th century classics that are arranged in a hip contemporary fashion.

Chinbaa was born in Ulaan Baatar, Mongolia, 1977, Virgo to two musicians, Batmunkh and Tserendulam. He was their first son. Famous performers with the National Folk Music Orchestra in Mongolia, Chinbaa's mother and father both received the Grand Prize for their particular instrument in the first annual National Mongolian Folk Music competition. Growing up in a house of musicians, Chinbaa's love of music began when he was very young. Throughout his early years he was fortunate enough to be trained by Mongolia's top composers and musicians, some of whom just happened to be friends of his talented family.

In 1998 at the beginning of Chinbaa's freshman year of college, he was approached to play keyboards for an already established rock band in Mongolia-"Niciton". Until then, Chinbat had really only been exposed to classical and Mongolian folk music and by agreeing to join the band took his first step towards the rock and pop industry. Niciton was very successful producing three CD's and touring across Mongolia and Asia. They were awarded "Best Performance" from Mongolia's largest rock/pop festival-"Pentatonic". They also received such awards as "Best arrangement", "Best sound engineer", and "Viewer's Choice" at the "Voice of Asia" International Festival.

After an internationally acclaimed 5 year run with Niciton, Chinbaa set out on his own as a producer/artist and released several hit songs for top Pop and Rock performers in Mongolia, and as a solo artist in his own right. Following his producing and writing success, Chinbaa released two CD's- "White Black White", a piano instrumental CD and "Chinbaa", a pop vocal CD. Both were accepted with national acclaim and each yielded several hits. Chinbaa's highly anticipated third solo CD, Immortality, was just recently released.

Now in Chicago, Chinbaa remains to write, arrange and produce music for another upcoming CD, while performing and recording with various successful Chicago based Artists. Chinbaa is also beginning a new album project with "Emotion", the Mongolian award winning female pop group he discovered, produced and toured with throughout Europe and Asia for the past 10 years. When he is not touring and producing his own projects, Chinbaa can be found writing and arranging for New York's Big Apple Circus and the world-renowned Ringling Bros. Circus.
