At barely into his twenties, Javier Moreno, known as Moreno X, is rapidly emerging as one of the most unique voices in regional Mexican music. As the founder and frontman of Grupo Diez 4Tro, this Sacramento-based artist is not just reshaping corridos for the new generation, he’s also spearheading a brand new subgenre: Drilla Corridos.

Born and raised in Sacramento, California, Moreno discovered his love for music early on. That passion became a mission in 2020 when he joined forces with Pablito, Nabs, and Emmanuel. What started as casual jam sessions quickly highlighted a shared ambition and undeniable chemistry. The group decided to officially form Grupo Diez 4Tro, blending the regional sounds they loved with modern trap and drill influences.
Their breakout moment came in 2021 with the viral success of “En El Refuego,” a track that blew up on social media. The song catapulted Grupo Diez 4Tro beyond Sacramento and into the hearts of fans across the U.S., Mexico, and even parts of South America. It positioned the group as pioneers of the Drilla Corridos sound, blending the storytelling essence of traditional corridos with the sharp beat of trap.

From the start, Moreno and his group embraced a raw, aggressive tone in their lyrics, channeling street realities and youthful energy. But as their audience grew, especially among younger listeners, they started to change gears. Recognizing their influence, Moreno steered the group toward more uplifting themes without losing any intensity in their sound. Their most recent album, “Consejos de la Vida,” reflects this shift. Centered around messages of resilience, self-belief, and personal growth, the album aims to motivate and inspire.
Instead of glorifying violence, the lyrics now aim to resonate with the everyday challenges and successes of listeners. The group has deliberately focused on sending out positive messages, particularly to their core audience of teenagers and young adults. Moreno sees this generation as the ones who will shape the future and feels it’s their responsibility to lead by example. The group draws inspiration from current events, personal experiences, and the world around them, creating songs that range from motivational anthems to romantic ballads.

Moreno dreams big. He wants Grupo Diez 4Tro to not only achieve success but also build a lasting legacy. He imagines a future where their music continues to inspire even after their initial fame fades away. For him, the goal isn’t just a temporary spot on the charts, but a lasting impact, creating music that sets the tone for an era and leads a movement.
With hits like “El Criticado,” “Los Hermanos,” “24 Horas,” and “Cargo Una 40” already under their belt, and a growing international fanbase, Grupo Diez 4Tro is on track to become one of the most influential young acts in the genre. And at the center of it all is Moreno X, a visionary with passion, drive, and a deep love for his craft.
From garage jam sessions in Sacramento to viral fame and a recording deal with Virgin Music, Moreno X is proving that corridos are evolving. And he’s leading the charge.
