Christian Parrish Takes the Gun, professionally known as Supaman, is a Apsáalooke rapper from Seattle, Washington. The child of struggling alcoholics, he spent part of his childhood in foster care before being raised by his mother. He began DJing in the 90s after hearing a Litefoot song (with the two touring together in 1999), taking the name 'Supaman' at the spur of the moment in a DJ competition. He almost signed to a label in Seattle before a religious experience led him to return to his family on the reservation and begin writing Christian-oriented hip-hop.

In 2003 he founded the Native American hip-hop group Rezawrecktion, whose first album (It's Time) won a Native American Music Award in 2005. Since then, he has released four solo albums, and received coverage and plaudits for the song Why? (featuring Acosia Red Elk) and Prayer Loop Song, in which Supaman fuses singing, rapping, DJing and fancy dance, doing all simultaneously; the latter won him the MTV Artist of the Week title. Alongside rapping, he also tours schools educating students about Native American history and culture.
