Charles Ans

Bringing Mexican hip-hop to wider attention, rapper Charles Ans achieved this through key releases such as the 2016 album Ataraxia: A Plena Luz del Dia and the 2021 joint project Los No Tan Tristes alongside Gera MX and Nanpa Básico, drawing international listeners with his grounded lyricism and rap approach that spans multiple genres.

Born and raised in Hermosillo, Mexico, under the name Carlos Miguel Segura Ramírez, he first gained notice while still a teenager through the Anestesia collective, then issued his initial solo effort, Sin Maletas, in 2015 at age 15. The busy creator soon delivered Smile, reaching greater heights with his third album, Ataraxia: A Plena Luz del Dia, in 2016. Its combination of classic hip-hop and relatable verses connected with fans throughout Mexico and elevated his profile. Two years afterward came Sui Géneris, which included work with Gera MX, Smoky, and Samantha Barrón. The concert recording En Vivo Desde el Plaza Condesa followed in 2020, and Ans generated several projects through 2021. Various singles arrived together with three studio albums that year, among them Los No Tan Tristes featuring Gera MX and Nanpa Básico, as well as Los Raros del Salón and ¿Cómo Terminamos Aquí? with BCN.
