Li'den Katarn, born Christopher Zmiewsky, is a rapper / song writer from Denver, Colorado. During his teenage years, he discovered his love for lyrical hip hop by coming across a couple of Compton, California's most popular rap icons, N.W.A. and Kendrick Lamar. He instantly fell in love with their portrayal of story telling, and delivery of important messages. It was also during this time that he decided he wanted to tell his own stories through the form of hip hop. In 2018, he wrote and recorded his very first song, which would ultimately put him on the path of pursuing a career in the music industry. During the time of practicing his creativity, he would also open his mind to an expansion of his music library, where he would discover artists such as Witt Lowry, NF, and Hopsin, who quickly became new inspirations for him. Believing that the foundation of music stems from emotional stories and personal experiences, he plans to deliver just that, with the hopes that others can relate. In March of 2021, he would drop his single "17", which he considers to be one of his most intense, cinematic, and important songs that he has ever made. Read more on Last.fm.
