About This Event

Meet Chri$tian Gate$ – a beacon for the resilient, a testament to music’s transformative power, and an audacious talent from Orange County. His journey from poetry to rap, pop, R&B, rock, and now folk reflects a relentless evolution. Drawing from a diverse range of influences, Gate$ defies genre norms. His turbulent youth, marked by street racing and run-ins with the law, resonates in his music, making him a voice for the triumphant. Behind the scenes, Gate$ remains hands-on. He was once his own audio engineer, and now closely collaborates with others. His electric performances, like his sold-out show at LA’s Roxy, Mercury Lounge, Sub T, and Lollapolooza radiate an undeniable energy. Gate$ invites listeners to find their own meaning in his songs, making his music a personal canvas. His rebellious spirit endures, symbolized by his black 2008 Corvette—a tribute to his past. Poised to explore the folk genre with an upcoming EP, Gate$ continues to be a voice for the voiceless, turning adversity into art.
