Ep. 51: Colliding With Mars (Artist)

Christian or Colliding With Mars is a solo artist with a very cool story. He got into music at an extremely early age growing up in a musical family. When his band didn't work out, he learned how to produce and decided to go solo.

Since then he's had quite a lot of success.  He's toured with love-sadKID, Hobo Johnson and Oliver Tree. He's also worked on several projects with artists and friends like Savage Ga$p, polearm, 93feetofsmoke and many others. 

As if being an artist wasn't enough he's pushed himself to learn the business side of the industry by working at United Common Records.  

This is his story.  Enjoy.
