Lea en español: 15 artistas dominicanos del Top 25 de ESENDOM que debes conocer: Chris Lebrón
From Santiago’s mountain tops to the corners of The Bronx, Dominican music has produced artists that have marked generations, challenged genres, and conquered global stages. At ESENDOM, we celebrate the cultural power of our music with a special list: “15 Dominican Artists from ESENDOM’s Top 25 That You Should Know”—a selection curated with both heart and musical insight, where each name represents not only talent, but history, identity, and legacy.
Our list is based on ESENDOM’s Top 25, a list we publish weekly featuring the hottest songs in the music scene.
Over the coming days, we will reveal one by one the names that make up this list, with in-depth profiles that honor their trajectory, impact, and cultural relevance. This is not a ranking; it is a living tribute.
Today we continue with Chris Lebrón.
🎤 Today we present the thirteenth of our fifteen: Chris Lebrón: From Snapshots to Soundtracks
Christopher David Lebrón Ferrer—known artistically as Chris Lebrón—was born on March 26, 1999, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, later making his home in Bajos de Haina, a hardworking community that pulses with natural rhythms and a spirit of perseverance. From an early age, Chris showed an artistic inclination that would eventually find its true expression in music, though his first path led him into photography. Armed with a camera and driven by economic necessity, Chris documented the world around him—never imagining that soon he himself would stand in the spotlight.
His connection to music was forged in the Evangelical Pentecostal Church, where he played drums as part of the worship group. At ten years old, he first encountered the guitar. Later, guided by his vocational calling and deep faith, he reignited his commitment to music with renewed determination. He began sharing his compositions on Instagram and YouTube, with no grand ambitions—yet his natural gift could not go unnoticed.
In a strategic and forward-thinking move, he asked his followers to tag renowned reggaeton artist Arcángel in one of his posts. The response was swift: Arcángel himself reached out, listened to his work, and—impressed by his voice and distinctive style—immediately signed him to his label, Flow Factory. This marked the beginning of a career that today positions him as one of the most promising forces in Dominican urban music.
Chris Lebrón stands out for a rare quality in today’s urban scene: refined songwriting with a romantic focus. He has voiced his intention to offer audiences a “breath of fresh air” in a market saturated with explicit content. His sound blends reggaeton with ballad sensibilities, all while preserving Dominican essence.
In 2022, his single “Desde mis ojos” surpassed 60 million views on YouTube, with its remix—featuring Sech and Jay Wheeler—exceeding 100 million. That same year, he released his debut album Versos de un cardíaco, which included hits like “Mesero,” “La Jaula Perfecta,” and “Estrella Fugaz” featuring La Ross María. He also collaborated with Romeo Santos on “SIRI,” which has garnered over 25 million streams.
By 2025, Chris unveiled his sophomore album En honor al que ama, a 17-track project showcasing his versatility, with collaborations ranging from El Alfa, Natti Natasha, Farruko, and Cosculluela to Christian artists like Redimi2 and Rubinsky. Despite his professional success, he acknowledges facing bouts of anxiety—driven by the pressure to always deliver his very best to his audience.
Today, at 26, Chris Lebrón represents not only the new wave of Dominican urban music but also an artistic philosophy rooted in authenticity, hard work, and spiritual conviction. In an industry that glorifies the fleeting, he invests in what endures.
