New York City based singer/songwriter, Chris Leamy, combines soulful vocals, alt rock soundscapes, and powerfully authentic lyrics to create a unique blend of gospel infused rock. The Chicago native spearheads a life-changing humanitarian campaign called "He Plays For Me" - an effort to share music with the homeless community in order to build meaningful human relationships and help change lives in a sustainable and genuine way.
Inspired by a panhandler on the subway in 2015, Leamy started a social movement called #heplaysforme. Since then, about once a week, he plays guitar and sings in NYC's Union Square on behalf of homeless individuals. He raises awareness and funds for those in need. By performing original music and earning spare change for the homeless, Leamy has fed and clothed the less fortunate and even found permanent shelter and a steady job for one man -- completely getting him off the streets.
Leamy has been featured on CBS This Morning, The New York Times, etc.
