ARTIST TO WATCH: Christian Lalama

Written by Sarrah Wolfe. Published: April 17 2020

 

We are so stoked to be introducing to you someone who is bound to be topping the charts any time now! 16-year-old R&B pop singer, Christian Lalama, hails from Ontario, Canada, and is quickly making his way into the spotlight. 

 

 

With the release of his latest single, “Knocked Me Off My Feet”, Lalama is proving his worth among the ranks of pop icons like Justin Bieber and Shawn Mendes. A perfect blend of smooth R&B beats and addictive pop melodies, “Knocked Me Off My Feet” is a must for your summer playlist! 

 

 

 

His other release from this year, “Miss Me”, is equally as catchy, and you definitely should NOT miss it! 

 

 

 

What’s really impressive about Lalama is his dedication to the craft. Lalama is a multi-instrumentalist who has been playing music since he was 4 years old. And when I say multi-instrumentalist, I mean he can literally play multiple instruments at the same time, like in this cover of “Piano Man” by Billy Joel. As if singing and playing the piano isn’t already hard enough, Lalama throws in a harmonica to the mix for a little extra garnish. And! He was only 10 years old at the time! 

 

 

 

If you’re thinking you need some more Christian Lalama for your ears, you’re right! You can find more of his catchy hooks and snappy beats in his earlier releases from 2018, “Tic Toc” and “FrFr”. We can also expect some more music from Lalama in the near future, as this is only the beginning for him. So be sure to follow him on Twitter and Instagram and keep your eyes peeled for his next release. We already know it’s going to be hot!
