About Me

Christina Carchidi has been creating music since she was able to write. She began taking dance lessons at the age of five, accompanied by piano lessons and writing her first song, entitled ”Maybe I Should Leave This Place”. Her natural inclination for rhythm and movement were reflected by her infatuation with the talents of Michael Jackson. During Christina’s adolescent years growing up in New Jersey, she continued her dance and vocal training and began performing at local clubs by the age of fourteen. She continued her studies after high school at Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University, in New Brunswick New Jersey. While she attended classes, she also choreographed for other performing artists and became a back-up dancer for an all girl singing trio Creme. Christina performed with artists L.L. Cool J., Dru Hill, and Big Pun. Upon graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Christina became the member of an all female music group appropriately named Bella Donna. The group was instantly signed to Strictly Rhythm Records in New York City. The deal lasted only a few months since the girls quickly gained recognition from world famous music producers Narada Michael Walden and Bob Ezrin at The EATM Conference in Las Vegas. The group peformed at The Joint singing a beautiful medley of original music accapella, and at The Taj Majal in Atlantic City for Hawaiian Tropic. Christina began working on her own music after two years with the girls. She moved to New York City to dance at Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and began writing and recording her first album. In New York, Christina reconnected with Narada Michael Walden and began writing songs and recording with him and The Jetsonz. Her song entitled “Get Loose” is featured in the independent film “Poster Boy” and is also listed on the compilation Toe Jam Beats. Christina is now working on her second album entitled “Soul Victory” and is performing at venues throughout New York City. Christina’s music is the perfect mix of soul, depth, and passion and is positively inspiring. Her beautiful movement is the perfect marriage to her earthy tone confirming that the lovely Miss Carchidi will be a huge success. .. .. .. <
