A relatively unknown artist, but one with plenty of potential, Cristian Uraga is a new breed of musician making music on his own terms.

A wandering melodic piece, the single is simple, but wonderfully effective, creating an almost timeless sound from disarming guitar chords and gentle, rustic sound. Adding to the mix, Cristian includes some subtle percussion that flickers in the background, developing a nuanced, enjoyable melody that instantly gets under your skin. As the song continues, Cristian employs some subtle, transformative strides, creating an evolving musical world from bare essentials, clever artistry, and raw production.
Available now on Spotify, where the single has already garnered over 10,000 streams in just a few shorts days, ‘Haze Space’ has become a unique musical piece for Cristian, and its hard to not be impressed by it.
