About Chip Davis and Mannheim Steamroller: From his longtime home in Omaha, Neb., Mannheim Steamroller creator Chip Davis makes innovative music inspired by the sounds of another age.  This former teacher and jingle writer founded the music industry’s largest independent recording label, American Gramaphone, in 1974 when industry executives said Davis’ innovative 18th. century instrumental rock sound would never sell.  In addition to a Grammy Award, Davis is largely credited with establishing the New Age music category. He went on to revolutionize the making and marketing of holiday music.  His first Christmas album was released in 1984; the album’s success made Christmas records a “must do” for all music artists.  With more than 40 million total records sold including 28 million Christmas albums, Mannheim Steamroller’s founder Chip Davis is the #1-selling Christmas music artist of all time.  Davis, one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the music industry, offers a rich array of lifestyle products on their website including: hot chocolate, food, apparel and novelty items.  His latest achievement is creating a cutting edge psychoacoustic technology that is being used in major medical institutions such as Mayo Clinic.
