Biography

His voice says 90’s grunge, his melodies say power pop and his production says, “let’s throw everything in the fridge on a skillet and see what happens”. We'll just say that Christopher Kenji's music is an eclectic storm raining down on the metaphorical umbrella of pop-rock on a bluesy day. Nonetheless, Kenji’s main mission is to be as honest and vulnerable as possible using his own life experiences and personal struggles to help people feel less alone through his music ––while also making them rock out so hard that they rip holes in their socks. Having paved his way from local open mic nights and busking on the streets of San Francisco, Kenji has now gained over a half million Spotify streams, had his music featured on TV and by popular YouTube channels/TikTok stars as well as had his music videos awarded at big international film festivals all over the world garnering him 6 awards (including "Best Music Video" for 'Summer Fog'). Kenji has also been published in Vogue, Harper's BAZAAR, Elle, L'Officiel, Vanity Teen, etc., has appeared on the Food Network and has walked the runway in various fashion weeks including LA and Chicago Fashion Week. Additionally, Kenji is a former Top 10 West Coast Songwriting Finalist of the international NewSong Music Competition. Everything you hear is self-performed, self-produced and self-mixed straight from the heart. Now is just the beginning. This is Christopher by the way ––hope you find something meaningful here to keep with you.
