Cristina appeared in national radios, televisions and press in Italy, and was featured by the United Nation Women at their Global Voices Film Festival in 2021. Cristina was selected for the semi-final auditions of the talent show X-Factor Italy, while she was a student at Berklee, and won several music competitions in her country, both as a singer and a songwriter. She also worked at the major record label EMI Music Italy, and had the opportunity to promote the Italian tours of very notable artists such as Norah Jones, Katy Perry, Amy Winehouse, Joss Stone, Robbie Williams, Kings of Convenience, Jet, Vasco Rossi, Tiziano Ferro, and many other.

Cristina's passion for music and singing began at the age of 6, when, after watching the movie The Bodyguard, starring Whitney Houston, she asked her parents to buy the soundtrack on cassette. She was determined to learn how to sing like the legendary artist.

At age 12, Cristina was noticed by one of her middle school teachers while singing the famous song “My Heart Will Go On” from the movie Titanic during recess. Impressed by her warm and deep voice, the teacher organized a performance at the end of the school year, where Cristina performed for the entire school. For a public school without an auditorium or a performing arts program, this was a big deal, as no one had ever done something like that before. This marked Cristina’s first public performance, though she didn't begin formal music studies until age 16, when her mother enrolled her in singing lessons with Maestro Andrea Rodini at a recording studio in Milan.

Afterward, Cristina continued her musical education at the Green Music School, studying music theory and voice with Maestro Antonio Gullotto and his son, Davide Gullotto, singer songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and her first producer. Her passion for music grew, and until she decided to write her first original song, "Libera-mente", co-written and produced by Davide Gullotto. The song received immediate recognition, winning the national competition Cantazzurro 2008 for Best Original Song, and was promoted by major national radio stations such as Virgin Radio, Radio Monte Carlo, and Radio 105. Her second single, "Dentro Te”, also produced by Davide Gullotto, won the national competition Festival delle Due Riviere 2008 for Best Original Song, performed with a full orchestra.

Eager to expand her knowledge of the music industry, Cristina began a Master’s degree in Music Business at the Catholic University of Milan in 2009. She had already completed a degree in Literature and Philosophy with a major in Journalism at the same university. During her Master's program, Cristina met several industry professionals, including Marco Alboni, at that time Chairman of EMI Music Italy, who offered her a job at the label upon her graduation. While at EMI, Cristina had the incredible opportunity to promote international artists such as Norah Jones, Katy Perry, Robbie Williams, Lily Allen, Amy Winehouse, Coldplay, just to name a few; as well as Italian stars like Vasco Rossi, Tiziano Ferro, and Valerio Scanu.

Despite the excitement of her job, Cristina’s desire for an artistic career remained strong. After learning about a college in the United States that was teaching students songwriting, she decided to pursue her dream. She produced her single "A Ray of Sunshine" with Davide Gullotto and auditioned for the renowned college, earning a scholarship that allowed her to start her studies at Berklee College of Music in January 2011, majoring in Songwriting.

At Berklee, Cristina faced challenges, including struggling with the language, being one of the few international students in her major, back in 2011. She was even advised to switch to another major due to her difficulties with the language. However, Cristina persevered and graduated with Summa Cum Laude in Songwriting in 2013. During her time at Berklee, she was also selected for the semi-final auditions of the talent show X-Factor in Italy.

After graduation, Cristina worked on independent projects with her ex-husband, including writing the theme song for the documentary "Nunc Coepi: The Venerable Life of Bruno Lanteri", produced by the Vatican and broadcasted on national television in Italy. Her work as a singer-songwriter has been recognized internationally, including the United Nations Women at their annual Global Voices Film Festival 2021. Her story has been featured in the press in Italy, Mexico, and the United States.

In January 2023, Cristina was appointed Associate Professor of Songwriting at Berklee College of Music, where she currently teaches several courses and inspires students from around the world to find their voice as songwriters, artists, and human beings.

She is also a proud mother of two beautiful children.
