Always in search of musical talent, The Marksmen have joined forces with guitarist and producer, Chris Sholar. Sholar boasts an impressive track record for a relatively new producer in the game. In 2001, Chris Sholar graduated William Paterson University with a degree in music and soon after joined the band of rapper Q-Tip (A Tribe Called Quest) as his guitarist. It was during this period that Q-tip gave Chris a tape of producer J-Dilla (Slum Village) beats. Chris remembers "that was the day I became a producer". He continued to play guitar for Q-Tip while perfecting his skill as a budding producer and in 2003 he caught the attention of Jus Blaze with his ability to replay any sampled recording. While collaborating with Jus Blaze, Chris began co-writing and playing guitar on albums by Mariah Carey (featuring Jay-Z), Snoop Dogg, and Freeway. Then in 2004, Chris met producer Rodney Jerkins and gave him a beat CD prompting Rodney to fly Chris out to Beverly Hills and offer him a deal with Darkchild. During this period Chris produced "Be Country" for rapper Petey Pablo. 

After some time working in America's hip-hop game, Chris focused his attention on Europe and produced the first single "Zu Elektrisch" for Max Herre. The album was number one on the Billboard charts. He then went on to produce for other international artist Joy Denalane, Afrob, Lisi and Massive Tone. 

In 2006 Chris collaborated with Ne-Yo and produced the first single "Put it in a Letter" for Mic Little (Def Jam) After all that, what is Chris doing now?  He just finished working on Q-Tip's upcoming album titled "Renaissance" slated for release later this year. He is currently working with Dr. Dre (Aftermath) and is busy in his lab making fly beats.
