## Biography

While a pre-med student at Indiana University, he started writing original music. After dropping out of college, he moved to Los Angeles and put out a few singles with producer Triegy, including their first track, "Fall for You", which charted on Spotify's U.S. Viral 50. He followed that with "By Myself", also a collaboration with Triegy, that earned over 50 million Spotify listens.
In 2018, he worked with Grammy-nominated producer Dru Decaro, and released his debut EP, natural colors and the single "Sweet Home". That same year he left college to tour with Chelsea Cutler on her Sleeping with Roses Tour. In 2019, French was a guest on Hoodie Allen's single "Come Around" and toured with Quinn XCII on the From Tour With Love spring tour.
That same year, Christian signed to Disruptor Records/Sony Music and released the 6-track EP bright side of the moon, ruminating on mental health and tales of romance. The single "Head First", produced by Andrew Luce, amassed more than 32 million Spotify spins and 2 million YouTube views. The accompanying video premiered on Billboard on June 18, 2020.
On January 17, 2020, the video for his track "time of our lives" premiered on Ones to Watch. In March 2020, Time magazine named his single, "crowded room", one of its Best New Songs of the Week and it appeared on Spotify's New Music Friday playlist. He followed that up with the single, "i think too much", which was released on April 16, 2020. Two more singles, "make or break up" and "paper thin", released leading up to his third EP, good things take time on September 18, 2020.
French would take a nine month hiatus before releasing his next single, "avalanche". Just four days later, he would play at Lollapalooza 2021, his largest show to date. He would then announce "The Avalanche Tour", his first ever headlining tour which would take place throughout the fall of 2021. His following singles, "OH WELL" and "golden years" would release in late 2021 and early 2022 respectively.
French released multiple singles throughout the remainder of 2022, including "butterfly fields", "evergreen", and "karma". His rendition of The Anxiety's "Meet Me At Our Spot" was popular on TikTok throughout 2022, and he released it on streaming platforms in late 2022. Throughout the release of these singles, French headlines his second tour, "The Golden Years Tour".
In 2023, French continued to release more singles, such as "thank god", "lonely", "bring u down", and the Tana Mongeau-aimed "trigger warning". He also announced his third headlining tour, "The Space Between Tour". This tour was named after his EP The Space Between, which released on September 1, 2023.
