Christian Anderson, known professionally as Trust'N, is an American musician, former record executive, and businessman.[1] He is a voting member of the Grammy Recording Academy.[2]

Early life and education

Anderson grew up in Middleton, Wisconsin. During childhood he studied piano and later played trumpet. At 16, he began rapping and freestyling with friends,[3] which led to recording his first songs and sharing them online when he was 17.[4] By his late teens, he had begun releasing music on SoundCloud under the stage name Trust’N.[5]

Anderson graduated from Middleton High School in 2017. He later attended University of Wisconsin–La Crosse, where he studied marketing.[4] While enrolled, he continued working on music and began promoting his releases independently. Anderson later left the university but completed his marketing degree online in 2023.[2]

Career

In 2019, Anderson served as an executive at Bentley Records. That same year, he co-founded Lost Boy Entertainment[6] with Bryce Vander Sanden,[1] due to "issues" with his music distributor.[7]

During college, his EP Lapse reached the top 20 of the iTunes hip-hop charts.[4] He also was a member of the Forbes Communication Council based on his work in communications and PR.[8]

In 2022, Anderson and Bkwds released the five-track EP Neverland. The project was developed over roughly two years, as a reflection on the COVID-19 pandemic.[9] The EP included the single “Stay (Go)” which later charted at number 17 on the Billboard Luxembourg Songs chart,[10] and charted at the 20th spot on the Luxembourg Top 40 chart.[11][12]

In addition to his work in music and entertainment, Anderson has written for Entrepreneur,[13] and has been a contributor for Rolling Stone in relation to his work in the music industry.[14]
