Биография

Cryptic Wisdom, the hybrid alt-rap project of Arizona-bred songwriter David Gonzalez, is an outlet for the MC to explore his fatherless childhood, struggles with sobriety, and the feelings of heartbreak and hopelessness. He weaves rock styles with hip-hop themes and flows, creating a world that nods to multiple genres but exists on its own. Enduring a difficult upbringing and recovering from drug addiction, he isn’t afraid to be vulnerable in his art. “I believe that people have an easier time dealing with life if they feel like they’re not alone, like they know somebody who has been there before and understands what they’re going through,” shares Cryptic who refers to his fanbase as cousins in order to invoke the feeling of family. “My job is to bring people comfort by talking about my struggle and being openly transparent about my journey. I make music for people who need inspiration and somebody to lean on.” The Tucson, AZ native strives to empower others to be themselves and not care about what others think.
