Wakyin, born Christian Rivera-Joaquin on July 4th, 1996 in Orlando, Florida, has become a vibrant force in the music scene, drawing from his rich Dominican and Puerto Rican heritage. His early life in neighborhoods steeped in the lively sounds of merengue, bachata, and salsa shaped his musical path. Encouraged by his family's love for music, Christian was drawn to the art of mixing beats at a young age, laying the groundwork for a future in music that would captivate listeners worldwide.

With a deep passion for exploring and blending different musical genres, Christian developed a unique sound that appealed to a broad audience, bridging cultural divides through his creations. His work on social media platforms garnered a following that admires his ability to connect diverse musical traditions in a cohesive and engaging way.

Christian's musical journey is marked by continuous growth and exploration, with each release adding depth to his evolving narrative. From the vibrant environments of Latin America to anticipated performances on global stages, he is a source of inspiration for upcoming producers and music lovers.
