Christian Jesús González Nodal is a Mexican singer and songwriter. Born and raised in Sonora, he is mainly known for popularizing “mariacheño”, a fusion genre between mariachi and norteño music. Nodal has won six Latin Grammy Awards, a Lo Nuestro Award, two Billboard Latin Music Awards, and a Latin American Music Award.

Nodal began his musical career at the age of seventeen when he signed with Universal Music Latin in 2016. He released his debut studio album, Me Dejé Llevar, in February 2017. The album was met with critical and commercial success, becoming Nodal’s first and only top-ten entry on the AMPROFON Top 100 Mexico chart, peaking at number seven. The singles “Adiós Amor” and “Te Fallé” peaked at number one on the Monitor Latino Top 20 General Mexican Songs chart, while the singles “Probablemente” and “Me Dejé Llevar” peaked at number two and three respectively. He released his second studio album, Ahora, in 2019. It peaked at number nineteen on the Top 100 Mexico and scored three top-ten hits with the singles “No Te Contaron Mal”, ‘Nada Nuevo”, and “De Los Besos Que Te Di”.

In 2021, the single “Botella Tras Botella” with rapper Gera MX became the first regional Mexican song to enter the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 60. As of September 2023, the song is currently Nodal’s most streamed song on Spotify. In February 2022, Nodal signed with Sony Music Mexico after being sued by Universal Music Latin; three months later, Nodal released the extended play Forajido, which peaked at number 28 on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart. The EP spawned the single “Ya No Somos Ni Seremos”, which topped the Billboard Mexico Songs chart. Over a year later in May 2023, Nodal released a follow-up EP, Forajido 2, which contained the top-ten singles “Quédate” and “Un Cumbión Dolido”.
