In our modern world where people are already faced with the pressures of social media, the fears of our foretold future and just a perpetual sense of worldwide unrest, Christopher Kenji strives to make music that helps people feel understood and less alone.
A lot of the lyrical content being fed to our newer generations from many of the popular artists nowadays are comprised of ego-driven sentiments about how they're the better than everyone else ––how people wish they could have their money, their status, their love lives, etc. With suicide rates higher than they've ever been, Kenji has made it his goal to do the exact opposite with his own music.
Kenji's main mission to be as honest and vulnerable as possible with his music using his own experiences and struggles to give people something they can hopefully relate to and feel good about. That is the exact reason why Kenji was drawn so passionately toward music in the first place ––its universal power to better people's lives. Aside from that, Kenji intends to bring back the spirit and energy of the rock music he grew up on and sincerely hopes people enjoy rocking out to his music.
