Chris Smith: Engineering & Detroit

There’s a certain electricity inside GetFresh Studio — I’ve felt it myself. It’s where creativity turns kinetic, and at the center of it all is Bi6Chris, the engineer turning Detroit’s raw energy into polished power.

In every musician’s journey, there comes a quiet moment — a breath between verses, a pause before the next song — when life demands something different than another recording session or another show. For Hobokin, that moment arrived not in the studio, but in the stillness that followed years of chasing creative highs.

Known for his meticulous writing style and emotionally charged storytelling, Hobokin has spent the last few years carving out a distinct space in the independent music scene. His songs — self-reflective, sharp, and soaked in feeling — have become both his therapy and his identity. But now, as he prepares to join the National Guard, he’s facing an entirely new rhythm, one defined not by melody, but by structure and service.

“I kinda just want to get it over with,” he admits with characteristic honesty. “If it were up to me, I would’ve shipped out within the same hour I decided I would sign up. I feel like I’m just wasting time — the sooner I go off, then the sooner I can return back.” It’s not resignation; it’s resolve. Hobokin is stepping into a new chapter with the same conviction he once poured into his music — and in that decision lies the universal truth of every artist who’s ever had to hit pause.
