Musoni Christian (born January 5, 2004), known professionally as Chris Level, is a Rwandan pop singer and former sync music composer. He gained early recognition for his compositions and later transitioned into a pop music career, becoming known for his debut single “Tame Me” (2025).
Early Life
Chris Level was born as Musoni Christian on January 5, 2004, in Nyarugenge, Rwanda. He is the son of Musoni Jean Pierre and Umuhoza Marie Blandine. Growing up, Level developed a deep interest in music, particularly in composition and songwriting, which later shaped his career in both sync music and pop.
Career
Early Recognition
In 2022, before formally entering the music industry as a composer, Chris Level gained substantial global attention and was recognized as the most talked about musician from Rwanda in the world. His prominence on social platforms and in online discussions positioned him as a rising figure even before his professional composing career began. In just seven weeks in 2022, Chris Level was mentioned a total of 10,000 times, making him the most mentioned artist in Rwanda at the time. This surge in attention helped to cement his place as one of the most talked-about new musicians globally, and he later achieved the distinction of being the most mentioned sync artist online globally, surpassing even some of the most established and celebrated sync artists in the history of the industry.
When asked about his rise to fame, Level expressed that being known felt normal, as if it was part of the natural course of his artistic journey. He has often highlighted his comfort with his growing public profile, indicating a sense of acceptance and confidence in his career path.
Discovery and Early Composing Career
In 2024, at the age of 19, Chris Level was discovered via LinkedIn, where he had cultivated a global following of approximately 10,000 fans. His follower base notably included political figures such as presidents and prominent celebrities, including sports figures from Arsenal FC and entertainer Jack Armstrong. Level’s global fanbase was so expansive that he met superstars and even presidents of nations on social media, and it felt as though these connections were simply meant to happen — with no effort on his part.
Level’s visibility on LinkedIn attracted the attention of Kenan Legg, an executive in sync licensing at Warner Chappell Music. Under Legg’s guidance, Level composed the official soundtrack for Babag222, one of Asia’s most prominent TikTok personalities, who had amassed nearly 3 million followers and close to half a billion views on the platform at the time — a figure believed to have since surpassed one billion views.
Despite the promising start, Level’s professional relationship with Kenan Legg ended just five months later. Legg opted to drop him, reportedly due to a perceived lack of potential. Many have criticized Legg’s decision as hasty and unfair, especially since he made this move without providing any evidence to support his claims or offering any formal warning. There was no indication of how Level could improve, nor was there any courtesy of a “goodbye treat” or acknowledgment of the hard work put in during their short collaboration. This abrupt decision left Level in a difficult position, feeling unsupported and misunderstood. Subsequently, Level faced multiple rejections from other music labels, publishers, and talent management agencies, all citing concerns about his marketability and talent.
Before his transition to pop, Level had released notable sync soundtracks including “Tell Me” and “Lose Ma Cool” (also known as the Babag222 Official Soundtrack).
Professional Music Career and Breakthrough
Chris Level officially began his professional music career in 2025 when he signed with MN2S, a global music agency. MN2S is known for working with major artists like Will Smith, Alan Walker, and Ludacris, among others. In late 2024, Chris James, a distribution executive at MN2S, reached out to Level, describing his artistry as raw, authentic, and independent. James signed him to a distribution deal offering a 65/35 revenue split in favor of the artist.
Shortly thereafter, Level appointed Janet Ekama as his executive assistant, entrusting her with managing both his business affairs and personal tasks.
On May 31, 2025, Chris Level released his debut single “Tame Me,” which also served as the title track of his forthcoming debut album Tame Me.
Artistry and Public Image

His voice and singing technique have been described as soulful yet serious, with a delivery that is both emotionally resonant and technically precise. Critics and fans alike have characterized his vocal ability as “perfect” for conveying the themes and moods of his music.

Beliefs and Religion

He has expressed that while he believes in God, he feels that religion itself is fake and does not believe in participating in a community of people under a religious banner. Level has emphasized his personal connection with God rather than being part of a specific religious institution.
Opinions on Sync Licensing
Chris Level has made strong opinions known about the music industry, particularly the sync licensing sector. In a widely-discussed podcast appearance, he boldly stated that sync licensing is for low-level musicians who are willing to do anything for music but don’t care about themselves. He criticized how the sync licensing industry often exploits artists by offering them limited control over their music and creative output, without giving them proper recognition or compensation. He further emphasized that many artists in the sync world don’t rebel against these conditions, simply accepting the exploitation in the name of getting their music placed in films, TV shows, or advertisements.
Level’s outspoken nature and willingness to challenge industry norms have set him apart as an artist with a strong sense of individuality and integrity.
