With the enforced Coronavirus pandemic restrictions of 2020, Christian decided to return to his Trance music roots and work on rebuilding his Trance career under the new alias of Rodman.
 
Now, in relaunching The Trance Empire shows and boasting a string of productions under his belt ready to be released, Rodman is optimistic about what the next part of his journey will hold.
