About this concert
Cristian Cabrerizo est né le 21 janvier 1993 à Miami (Floride) de parents d'origine cubaine. Très sensible à la musique, il est influencé par la pop, le reggae et la soul ainsi que par tous les rythmes caribéens. Cris Cab se fait offrir une guitare pour ses cinq ans et fait ses premiers pas en studio à quatorze ans. C'est là qu'il a la chance de croiser Pharrell Williams en 2007. Lorsque Chris Cab le sollicite trois ans après pour lui faire écouter ses maquettes, le rappeur est définitivement conquis et prend Cris Cab sous son aile. Avec l'EP Foreword en 2011 et la chanson « Good Girls », c'est au tour de Wyclef Jean de s'intéresser au talentueux jeune homme. Suffisamment, en tout cas, pour faire partie en 2012 des producteurs présents sur la mixtape Echo Boom avec Pharrell Williams. Les deux hommes sont à l'origine d'une nouvelle version de « Good Girls » devenue « Good Girls (Don't Grow on Trees) ». Pharrell Williams compose, Wyclef Jean produit et Big Sean donne de la voix sur cette nouvelle mouture. Cette nouvelle version fait partie de l'EP Rise sorti en 2012 chez Def Jam. La même marque commercialise l'EP Red Roa où apparait entre autres Mike Posner, puis le single « Liar Liar » fin 2013. Nanti de ce premier tube européen classé par exemple n° 8 en France, Cris Cab sort en mai 2014 son premier album intitulé Where I Belong. En 2016 Il aura egalement ete present sur toute les radios avec sont Titre "Bada Bing" et 2 titres en Featuring “Paris" avec Willy William et “Paradise" avec Nehuda. 2017 sera l’annee du “New Begining” titre de son nouvel album en preparation sur son nouveau label Smart chez Sony Music avec un premier titre feat avec J Balvin sortie mi février et un 2 titre avec Pitbull en preparation.

Cris Cab Biography
Music can break borders and unite people everywhere.
Cris Cab realized that while touring the world in support of his 2014 full-length debut, Where I Belong. Co-written and
produced by Pharrell, the album’s breakout single “Liar Liar” would go Top 10 in 9 countries (including Germany and
France), reach triple-platinum status in The Netherlands and platinum in Italy, and accumulate nearly 50 million
YouTube/VEVO views and over 41 million Spotify streams.
As his international profile rose, the Miami-born singer and songwriter performed on bills alongside Lorde, Bastille, Ellie
Goulding, Trey Songz, MAGIC!, and supported Pharrell across Europe during the Dear G I R L Tour in addition to hitting
the stage at the Governor’s Ball and the official Fashion Rocks Macy’s after party. Along the way, he appeared on TODAY
Show and Access Hollywood, drummed up critical applause from the likes of Esquire, Complex, Nylon, Huffington Post,
Billboard, GQ and many others as MTV proclaimed him an International PUSH Artist.
All of this globetrotting exerted a profound creative impact on his second album, New Beginnings [CMG Records].
“On tour, I was performing tunes from the last project in Europe, and it was a big test of how what I’m creating in the
studio works live at a concert,” he says. “When you’re on stage, you instantly see the reaction of thousands of people, so
it helped me understand how to create music that could capture that energetic rock ‘n’ roll power, but still keep the
natural reggae vibe I’ve always had.”
Inspired by the Rolling Stones, The Police, and Talking Heads, Cris dove headfirst into writing music at the top of 2015.
He spent a month in Miami and another month in The Bahamas working on ideas before heading to Marathon Studios in
the Hollywood Hills. Teaming up with producers such as Dre Bombay, Dallas Austin, and Pharrell, he ignited a new sonic
spark through infusing a soulful upbeat rock ‘n’ roll swing into his patented reggae pop. Personally co-producing six
songs, he would even perform guitar, bass, piano, and drums throughout the album.
“We started playing at faster tempos and rhythms, and everything came together naturally,” he goes on. “It started
forming itself. That speed added a new dynamic, while the reggae element came instinctively for me. It’s music that
doesn’t ask a question; it tells you what’s happening. The energy is pushing through you and moving you forward.”
Painting a wild picture of a one-night stand, the first single “Bada Bing” gallops along on horns and handclaps anchored
by an island-style strum before building towards an infectious show-stopping refrain. Breaking ground, Cris released
versions of the song tailored to different countries. The French version boasts a verse from rapper Youssoupha, while
the German recording includes a guest spot from the group 257s.
“‘Bada Bing’ is about our generation today and how everybody’s on the go all the time,” he explains. “Everyone’s very
fast, and they move on to the next thing very quickly. It’s the lifestyle of this era. It was really cool to translate it into
different markets and do something special for each audience because they’ve supported me so much.”
Elsewhere on the album, the sunny synth shuffle of “Solid Ground” highlights his impressive vocal range, while “Turn
Out The Light” tiptoes between a funkified bass line and propulsive beat. Second single “All The Girls” sees Cris join
forces, quite appropriately, with Mr. Worldwide himself and fellow Miami native Pitbull. Together, they stir up an
undeniable banger that’s both simmering and scintillating.
“That one is about trying to find the right lady to have by your side,” he smiles. “There are so many beautiful and
amazing women in the world. You want to find who you love. I have to say Pit killed it too!”
Now, New Beginnings kicks off the next chapter for Cris, and he’s armed with a sound that will resound all over the
globe.
“I’ve gotten to a place where I finally understand where I want to go with my music,” he leaves off. “This is who I am,
what I want to represent, and what drives my vision. I’m controlling the energy. It’s a rebirth. When people hear it, I
want them to walk away feeling like they’re not alone. I want to spread a message of positivity to everyone. Music
brings us all together no matter where we’re from.”
