Lewis Hamilton is undoubtedly a man of many talents. Having proven his prowess on the race track, he loves trying out different stuff and getting himself out of his comfort zone. One of the popular talents he possesses is music. He showcased his vocal range in Christina Aguilera’s 2018 song called Pipe under the pseudonym XNDA. Fans demanded an album as R&B artist DeCarlo wished him on his birthday with a video of them both jamming.

Hamilton may have tried to hide his identity by using the name XNDA but fans were quick to recognize his voice. However, he only confirmed his identity in 2020 citing anxiety about being accepted by his fans. It was only after he realized the song did well that he decided to confirm that he was indeed the voice in Christina’s song.
