Born and raised in North and East London, Christopha is a rapper, writer, and relentless dreamer who has carved a unique path in music. His journey hasn’t been without its challenges, but each twist and turn has only added depth to his artistry. After stepping away from a Fortune 500 company to chase his musical aspirations, Christopha found himself returning to the corporate world to support his family. This period brought stress, self-doubt, and strain on those around him, yet it also fueled his determination to rise again.
Finding stability reignited Christopha’s passion for music and set the stage for 26 Miles and Running, an ambitious project that saw him release a new song every two weeks for an entire year. This creative marathon showcased his versatility and resilience, catching the attention of BBC 1Xtra and BBC Introducing. Christopha’s standout verse on the 1Xtra rap cypher, recorded at the iconic Maida Vale Studios, offered a glimpse of the potential that has many touting him as one to watch.
Closing out the year, Christopha delivers his latest single, “Quality Time.” This track, which follows the release of his I Am Christopha EP, is a testament to his ability to blend relatable themes with infectious energy. “Quality Time” has an upbeat, melodic feel and a hook that lingers long after the song ends. It reflects on the importance of carving out moments for loved ones amidst life’s demands, making it a perfect addition to the holiday season’s soundtrack.
With musical influences ranging from Kano to Common to India Arie, Christopha weaves introspection and aspiration into his work, creating songs that resonate deeply with listeners. As he continues to balance his personal journey with his professional growth, it’s clear that the marathon is far from over. With “Quality Time,” Christopha not only celebrates togetherness but also reaffirms his place as a voice for those navigating life’s complexities while daring to dream.
