Christopha’s journey is a testament to resilience, introspection, and the power of dreaming boldly, even after life reroutes your course. Born and raised in North and East London, he’s the kind of artist who doesn’t just wear his heart on his sleeve—he pens it into every verse. A rapper, writer, and self-described relentless dreamer, Christopha’s story isn’t linear. It’s winding, real, and all the more compelling for it.
After boldly stepping away from a secure graduate role at a Fortune 500 company to pursue music, life steered him back into the corporate grind to support those he loves. It wasn’t an easy return—stress mounted, confidence waned, and the dreams that once seemed in reach felt distant. But that’s not where the story ends. It’s where it reignites.
Stability brought space. And with that space came creativity. Christopha re-entered the music scene with a firework of ambition—his “26 Miles and Running” project saw him drop a song every two weeks for a year. Not as a gimmick, but as a testament to stamina, purpose, and the marathon-like nature of artistry. His influences—from the introspective and poetic Common, to the unfiltered and iconic Kano, to the soulful vibrance of India Arie—come together in his music in a way that feels both rooted and fresh.
Now comes his latest single, “Millionaire”—a track that doesn’t flex for clout, but reframes the concept of wealth entirely. This isn’t about Lambos or overflowing champagne. Christopha raps with the conviction of someone who’s seen both sides of the dream: the glittering vision and the grind it takes to stay alive long enough to chase it. There’s a hunger in his delivery, but also perspective. “Millionaire” is as much a mindset as it is a financial status. It speaks to valuing peace, purpose, and personal growth—the kind of riches you can’t bank but feel deeply when you know what it means to nearly lose yourself and claw your way back.
Touted by BBC 1Xtra and BBC Introducing as an artist to watch, Christopha has already proved his lyrical mettle with a standout verse on the 1xtra Rap Cypher, filmed at the legendary Maida Vale Studios. It’s the kind of performance that suggests something big is brewing—something honest, deliberate, and built to last.
If “Millionaire” is any indication, Christopha isn’t just running the marathon—he’s pacing it with intention. One track at a time, one story at a time, he’s redefining what success sounds like. And for those listening closely, it’s not just inspiring—it’s essential.
