CNRD

Multi-talented artist and producer CNRD is a very different and uniquely wired musician who isn’t afraid to break the rules and push the boundaries of our perception with his deeply layered and well-crafted production. Born in the Bronx, NY, he was raised between the Bronx and Stroudsburg, PA. His drive, focus, and tenacity will lead him to become a relentless and unstoppable force in the independent circuit. 
 After losing his mother to cancer in 2008 he turned to music as the vehicle by which he would express himself and fulfill his purpose. He writes lyrics that draw from his experiences and by using his musical acumen he articulates stories and shared perspectives that will connect with audiences across the spectrum. CNRD combines various unique and experimental sounds with his intricate wordplay and often dabbles in various contrasting flows resulting in Hip hop centered fusions that are still firmly stitched together by emotive undertones. CNRD cites icons such as Jay-Z, Kanye West, J Cole, Lil Wayne, 90’s R&B and Motown as pivotal influences in his music. His overarching ambition is to empower people through his gift and to be remembered as an icon. 
 CNRD has garnered plaudits from peers and fans alike touring Europe with Ryan Leslie in 2014. He also has multiple projects in his repertoire. The talented enigma is here to reshape and leave an indelible mark in the industry.
