With nearly a decade of experience as a recording artist under his belt, it's hard to believe that **Ztilo** (who first hit the scene under the moniker ‘Cristiles') is still months away from turning 30. The Bay Area product emerged in 2012 with his undeniably infectious hit “Good Times”. The aforementioned single quickly opened doors for the young rising star. The next five years would see Ztilo collaborate with numerous artists, including Mistah Fab, Phora, and Kirko Bangz, along with dozens of live performances in some of the biggest markets in the country. In the later years of the 2010s, Cristiles would take a needed detour from his music career, instead focusing vital energy and growth on his family and the well being of his son. In 2019, he decided to return to music as a new man with a new vision. The core priorities of his life revitalized, Cristiles changed his title to Ztilo and began transitioning from performing primarily as a rapper to becoming a singer with a heavier R&B influence.   IG @ztilomusic TikTok @ztilomusic   JOIN THE YOU BOOKED IT COMMUNITY Chat and Connect with Broadway Performers, Past Podcasts Guests, and People just like you navigating the entertainment industry!
