Chris Wols-tenho-rola grew up in Rotherham before moving to Teignmouth, Devon. While living there, he played drums for a post-punk band, while Matthew Bellamy and Dominic Howard played in another. After two years of failed bassists in Bellamy and Howard's band, Wolstenholme gave up the drums and joined with them as bassist to create The Rocket Baby Dolls (later renamed Muse).
He currently lives in Teignmouth with his wife Kelly and their 4 children Alfie, Frankie, Ava-Jo and Ernie, and is an avid supporter of his hometown football team, Rotherham United F.C.. Wolstenholme holds an honorary doctorate of arts from the University of Plymouth.
Wolstenholme has used many different basses since the start of Muse's career, starting out with Warwick and Bass Collection basses, alongside an electric double bass for use in the song Unintended. He favoured the Ampeg SVT amps, with 1x18, 2x10 and 2x12 cabs.
Wolstenholme often uses distortion. Favouring the Russian Sovtek version of the Electro Harmonix Big Muff distortion / sustainer, this was used alongside a BOSS Bass overdrive and other effects.
