VENTS Magazine: INTERVIEW: Florida Country Artist Christon Birge
Hi Christon, welcome to VENTS! How have you been?
Great! Super busy in the best way possible with the launch of our new single.
Can you talk to us more about your latest single “Sunscreen On You”?
It’s a fun summer song that makes you want to sing along and takes you straight to the beach – no matter where you are. We don’t always have the time or the luxury to get to the beach but we can all crank up the radio or put in our headphones and listen to a song that takes us there and puts us in that mindset.
I wrote this song with my good buddy Shaun Streeter. We both coincidentally had partially-written songs about the beach and the smell of sunscreen on a girl. Shaun and I both lost our jobs as a result of Hurricane Michael. This was a Category 5 hurricane the Northwest Florida region had never seen before. The impact of the storm on the Florida Panhandle was devastating but a silver lining for us was using that time to make music. We finished writing and got straight into the studio to record and plan for the music video.
