Christopher Daniel Soriano Jr.[3] (born January 4, 1997),[4] better known by his stage name CJ, is an American rapper and songwriter from Staten Island, New York.[5] He is best known for his 2020 breakout single "Whoopty", which peaked at number 3 on the UK Singles Chart[6] and at number 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[7] The song was later included on his debut EP, Loyalty Over Royalty, released in February 2021.

The song peaked at number 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in February 2021, and number 3 in the UK.[9] He also reached the top of the Billboard Emerging Artists chart.[10] He later signed a record deal with Warner Records and his uncle, record executive, James Cruz, on his record label, called Cruz Control Entertainment.[11] He stated that various labels reached out to him, however, Warner had the "best situation".[12] On January 26, 2021, CJ released the single, titled "Bop", the follow-up to "Whoopty".[12] His debut extended play, titled Loyalty Over Royalty was released on February 19, 2021. It was executive produced by French Montana. The extended play featured his final single "Lil Freak" (featuring DreamDoll).[13]
