6ixRings
Christopher Jamonn Horn (born December 7, 1988) known by his stage name 6IXRINGS ("SIX-RINGS") full artist name "6IXRINGS DA CHAMP" in relation to sports, as well as his favorite Jordan basketball shoe. This is what the Detroit-bred rapper, singer, songwriter, hopes to be in the rap game, a legend. He showcases split-personalities in his music with some tracks that feature R&B singing and some that feature rap with robust delivery. When 6ixRings crafts a song, he doesn't stick to one specific structure, he instead opts to explore uncharted territory and dip into different styles every time. He doesn't want to stick to one particular sound and will always experiment with different genres. As a songwriter his hooks and melodies always come to him naturally. The result is something astoundingly authentic and oozing with originality.
Early Life
He was born in Detroit, Michigan and is the 2nd born to a family of 6, having 3 siblings, 1 brother and 2 sisters. At 15 he began his artistic career in painting at Wayne State University art program. Which quickly pivoted to writing and recording music. Singing and creating melodies on-the-fly was always a way for him to center himself, as he experiences adhd, anxiety and depression. At the age of 18 he wrote for the UK artist Jaxz and created demos for artists on Audacity and Cakewalk but never releasing his own material until 2020.
