my name is rohan and i make music and write
            words primarily. i'm proudly from champaign, illinois,
            and shamefully living in the suburbs of atlanta, georgia
            currently. while i do like the actual city of
            atlanta, and identify with it somewhat, i've
            always felt strongly tied to illinois and
            plan on moving to chicago as soon as possible.
            
            for a long time i did not really feel compelled to
            release the things that i made. i made music for me,
            because it was fun and i needed some sort of release
            valve, and songs were often left in an unfinished
            state anyway because the polishing process was not
            interesting to me and i didn't care. but i had a
            friend that really believed in my ability and
            when they started this big collective/label thing, they
            wanted me to be a part of it. that made me feel the need
            to start putting things out, i sort of felt obligated
            to do that for them. now it's just a part
            of it for me i suppose. i still don't share the things
            i write that aren't tied to songs really, but i'm trying
            to change that.
            
            when i started to release stuff i was using the
            name farboro, which is the name of the town the
            characters in the cartoon 'the problem solverz' live in.
            i was never that satisfied with the name, though, so
            when i came up with christopher rowin--my two names
            with swapped position and rohan spelled phonetically--which
            i liked more, i decided to start using it. i was
            gonna use it alongside another name, but i've
            decided against that and will just be using christopher
            rowin for everything.
