Carson James Argenna emerged as a TikTok breakout artist after a rousing verse of “Soulmate Song” found virality. On the heels of this success, his debut track “Budding Romance” (2019) gained ground and he scored a contract with Columbia Records. Born January 16, 1997, the singer, songwriter, and self-confessed “oddball” from Rochester, New York is the epitome of a playful storyteller. While weaving thoughtful lyrics with dulcet pop melodies that gently probe his audience, he retains an air of down-to-earth goofiness.
