Formation Years

Mannheim Steamroller, known for creating neo-classical electronic musical compositions, is the brainchild of the blessed musician Chip Davis. Born into a musical family, Davis found his first teacher in his grandma who gave him piano lessons when he was four years old. The would-be artist performed alongside various choirs and college bands before accepting a job of writing advertising jingles. The singer was soon drawn towards composing his own music and began recording what he called the “18^th century classical rock”. The ensuing album “Fresh Aire” was self-released under Davis’s American Gramaphone label and instantly became a musical smash hit. A unique mix of synthesizers and electric bass, the album was initially refused by all recording labels and was later released by Davis himself. The success of the album culminated into the formation of a pseudo band called Mannheim Steamroller.

Achievements and Career Highlights

Mannheim Steamroller has become a stable fixture at the American music industry with a staggering 40 million albums sold to date. The band includes various musicians including co-founder keyboardist Jackson Berkey and wife Almeda Berkey, drummer Tom Sharpe and instrumentalist Arnie Roth. The group has had various lineup changes over the years with artists like Ron Cooley, Roxanne Layton, Chuck Penington and Bobby Jenkins in its ensemble. With a total of nineteen Gold, four Platinum and eight Multi-Platinum albums to its credit, the band has earned a coveted spot amongst industry elite. The band’s debut Christmas album reformed the New Age music genre, setting the trend for other artists in the industry to venture into Christmas records. The album broke records selling more than five million copies, thanks to the smashing single “Deck the Halls”. The artist released a number of Christmas hits over the years apart from his “Fresh Aire” and Halloween based collections.
