Christopha, born and raised in North and East London, embodies the spirit of a true artist driven by passion and perseverance. A rapper, writer, and relentless dreamer, Christopha’s journey in music has been anything but conventional. After graduating and leaving behind a stable career at a Fortune 500 company to pursue his musical dreams, he faced the harsh reality of financial instability. The challenges of balancing his passion with the need to provide for his family led to stress and a temporary loss of confidence. Despite these struggles, Christopha’s resolve never wavered.
Finding his footing once more, he reignited his dreams and embarked on a groundbreaking project, “26 Miles and Running.” This ambitious endeavor saw him releasing a new song every two weeks for an entire year, showcasing his unwavering dedication and creative output. His music, influenced by the likes of Kano, Common, and India Arie, has garnered attention from prominent platforms such as BBC 1xtra and BBC Introducing. A notable highlight of his career includes a standout verse on the 1xtra rap cypher, recorded at the iconic Maida Vale Studios, signaling his potential to a wider audience.
Christopha’s latest single, “Listening To,” offers a profound exploration of the inner turmoil we all experience. Echoing the classic vibe of Eminem & Dr Dre’s “Guilty Conscience,” this track is the second single from his EP “I Am Christopha.” Over melodic guitar strings and piano keys, Christopha navigates the rocky road of silencing the conflicting voices in our heads and uncovering our true selves. As he delves into the battle with our inner voices, his lyrical prowess and emotional depth shine through, proving why he’s been touted as a rising star to watch. The marathon of Christopha’s musical journey has only just begun, and it’s clear that there’s much more to come from this dynamic artist.
