Time and time again have the most simplistic, down to earth, and humble individuals seen their musical aspirations skyrocket as a result of one sudden blip in a certain algorithm online; it’s more than a trend at this point… it has practically become a science. And for the latest, and possibly greatest example of this concept being put into motion at random, look no further than the sudden rise of CMTEN (pronounced SEE-EM-TEN). 
 This 21-year-old rising star had his artistic career take off to unfounded levels when one of his tracks “NEVER MET!” became known worldwide with its popularity aided by the all-too-influential platform of Tik Tok. The song itself has been regarded as one of the most standout tracks from this rising underground pop movement that is gaining traction day by day and moment by moment, and he is following suit in his own right. 
 Though CMTEN is nothing short of a household name among avid music listeners and young teens alike, there is quite a lot yet to be discovered about the man behind that name.
