Christina grew up in a household always filled with music. From the moment she could speak, she was singing. Christina's mom fondly remembers her running up on stage at church to grab the mic. Christina has always maintained a positive outlook despite starting her life amidst tragedy. Her teen father was tragically killed in a car crash just before Christina was born, and when she was only 1, her mother also lost her life in a fatal car accident. Christina was raised by her mother's parents, whom she calls "mom and dad," making her siblings her uncles. Since Christina was so young when she lost her parents, she has no memory of them and couldn't have asked for better parents to raise her. Although processing the grief of losing her parents before she knew them has been challenging, expressing her feelings through music has helped her find solace. Now, Christina spends two to three days a week honing her skills by gigging at local bars in her small town with her older brother, Daniel. While their musical aspirations differ, they both enjoy performing together as a duo.
