How Cris MJ Is Globalizing Chile’s Booming Reggaetón Movement
On the heels of his No. 1 hit "Gata Only," Cris MJ is putting Chilean reggaetón on the map. Meet this month's Billboard Latin Artis on the Rise.
His first creations were music videos recorded on his iPhone and songs uploaded by himself on DistroKid— ”it was difficult for a reggaetón artist to get support here,” he explains, especially in his hometown of La Serena (located on the coast of Chile). But his leap of faith arrived in 2020, when he moved to the capital of Santiago, and unleashed his first official single called “Como Tú Ninguna,” a catchy urban-mambo that locally put him on the map. After going viral on TikTok, it landed on Karol G’s radar, who later jumped on the remix, invited fellow Colombian Ryan Castro to join in, and even included it on her Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season) album.
