Christian Mariconda is a Canada-based singer, songwriter Rapper. His recent single called Braggadocious peaked at Number 16 on iTunes/Hip-Hop Rap Chart. It also peaked at Number 132 on the iTunes All Genres Chart.
How Did It All Begin?
Christian has always loved music, and he grew up listening to Rock and Roll. He soon discovered the world of R&B and Pop and fell in love with the music and the genre. Usher, Justin Timberlake, Michael Jackson were some of the artists who swayed him off his foot.
Having so much musical influence in his life naturally led him to create music. He started composing music as a teenager. He understood very little of the technicalities of songwriting and storytelling. However, he enjoyed the process of creating songs.
Over the years, he kept on learning from the works of his favorite artist. He spent three years creating R&B and pop music. Yet, he did not feel a connection with his music. It never felt right in his soul.
His most significant mind-shift change happened because of the Kendrick Lamar album called Damn. Until this point, Christian had composed music predominantly about women and romance. Kendrick’s album made him realize that music could be about religion, trauma, politics, depression, emotions, isolation, and a horde of different things. Rap made him realize his true self and gave birth to the voice he has now.

When it comes to genre, his music does not fit in one single genre. As he grew up listening to multiple artists. He has adapted a little of everyone he has loved. Moreover, he does not care about genre. His only focus is composing music that connects with people.
