Chris Herin

Chris Herin (Tiles, Discipline) is a songwriter, guitarist and keyboard player based in Trenton, Michigan, USA.

Chris co-founded the heavy prog band Tiles back in 1993, as well as occasionally working with another local Detroit area band, Discipline over more recent years. Despite being involved with two entirely separate bands, he managed to balance his musical activities with his day job as a senior commissioner's representative with the Internal Revenue Service before retiring at the end of 2025, making time to make more music.

His first solo album Hiding in Plain Sight is a dark conceptual work about how he coped with his father's 10-year struggle with Alzheimer's, and was released via Laser's Edge on November 1, 2024, with sales proceeds being donated to Alzheimer's nonprofits in honor of his late father's battle against the condition.
