About Me

Kristina Vinson, a singer/songwriter, and performer. Kristina was born in Detroit, but majority of her life raised in New Jersey. For a short period of time she attended the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. UARTS is where she had the great opportunity to meet other wonderful singers and performers on campus. Going way back Kristina had been singing since the age of 4 years. Her first performance was at her elementary school talent show where she sang "From a Distance" by Bette Midler. Ever since that moment Kristina knew she was born to sing! With years of Performances, and learning experiences, ( local and abroad, Weddings, Fundraisers, 1st, AND second place competition winnings, Apollo Theatre, a taste of BMG RCA Records, a Carnegie Hall solo debut of "Wade in the Water" with The Lakeland Choir, a solo debut of "Wade in the Water" and "Amazing Grace" in many cathedrals in Ireland, a solo performance of "The Christmas Song" accompanied by other auditioned members of The Lakeland Choir at the manhattan apartment belonging to Rupert Murdoch among that many other performances...) she is grateful to have had any opportunity to experience these great things and more. For that she gives special thanks to her Parents, and her Friend, Teacher, and Mentor... Mr. Dalton! With some said, Kristina says, " I've already lived alot of my dream, but I wont let it stop there! I love nothing more than performing, its a high that I can only describe in song. With that I hope you enjoy listening to my musical thoughts" ... coming soon ♫*About the video below...!~ the first end of a song is me performing a Judd's cover with my mom singing lead...
