Natanael Ruben Cano Monge (born March 27, 2001) is a Mexican rapper, musician and singer. Natanael is known for his fusion of trap music and regional Mexican corridos, known as corridos tumbados. The idea to fuse the two genres was proposed by Dan Sanchez who wrote Natanael's first corrido tumbado, "Soy El Diablo".

Early life
Cano was born in Hermosillo, Sonora. When Cano was nine, he showed off his talent at family events and parties or wherever he was invited. When he first taught himself to play the guitar at thirteen, he learned Mexican band Maná's "Rayando el Sol" off of YouTube. Then he focused on regional Mexican corridos like the ones by Ariel Camacho who was his main source of inspiration. Three years later at sixteen, when he dropped out of Santa Ana High School, he released his first song on YouTube "El de los lentes Gucci" where he first fused hip-hop/trap with corridos, which he now refers to as corridos tumbados.
Music career
At the beginning of his career, Cano primarily upload videos guitar covers to YouTube and later grew into performing underground. Cano signed to the Los Angeles-based urban regional Mexican label Rancho Humilde in March 2019. The label's founder, Jimmy Humilde, was looking to sign more urban regional corridos singers. After watching Cano on an Instagram video in early 2019, Humilde decided to fly Cano out to Los Angeles, and eventually signed him. Humilde keeps Cano grounded, constantly reminding him that he "can achieve great things if he doesn't get lost in the journey".
Cano also has partnerships with Warner Music Latin and Apple Music. Cano was the first musician to fuse this variant of the two genres together which has made him stand out, which has led him to be the first Mexican to be recognized as the artist of the month through Apple Music Up Next, "a show aimed at discovering rising stars that in previous years advanced several of today's top talents". This accomplishment on Apple's huge platform shows that Cano, at the age of nineteen beat 300 million songs since his debut in 2019 and shows that he is the number one regional Mexican artist from his category of music.
Corridos tumbados and early work
The fusion of trap music and regional Mexican corridos known as corridos tumbados were born in Los Angeles where Cano arrived with Rancho Humilde to showcase his talents. Cano is best known for his creation of corridos tumbados which are inspired in the traditional songs of Mexico and combine the lyrics of trap music and sometimes hip-hop. He could be considered the "king of corridos tumbados" since he has been recognized for his interpretation of this subgenre of corridos. Cano states that the genre of music he specializes on is "the sound of regional Mexican music but with the sound of the new generation that young musicians added". Traditional corridos have consisted of daily tragedies, conflicts and even stories about crime with the subgenres like narcocorridos and lumbre corridos. Before his album, A Mis 20, he has stemmed away from his origins and mostly focused on trap corridos like in his albums Las Torres 3, Soy El Nata, and Trap Tumbado. Cano turned his focus back to corridos tumados because he said he that that is his main focus right now.
Influences and inspiration
Throughout the earlier stages of Cano's music career, Cano was heavily influenced by corridos he grew up listening performed by regional Mexican artists Gerardo Ortíz and Ariel Camacho. Cano says that he if he could see any artist perform dead or alive, it would be Ariel Camacho since he died before Cano got a chance to see him in concert. By his late teens, he became inspired by a corrido group from Orange County, California, Legado 7, known best for their "lumbre corridos" (fire corridos) which they became known for since they broke traditional values and wrote lyrics about weed. Cano's songs are influenced by experiences in his personal life or of his friends. His lyrics are based on events that he has gone through in his life. As a big fan of musicians like Bad Bunny, Jhay Cortez, and J Balvin, Cano is musically inspired by them.
Goals
Cano mentions that his goal is to collaborate with many different Latin trap artists, however he would like the collaborations to happen naturally rather than be forced. Cano's dream collaboration would be with Anuel AA In an interview through Univision, Cano admitted that he also would like to collaborate with Mickey Woods Jr., Bad Bunny,
