Originally from small-town in Pennsylvania, Christina Iris grew up with a strong desire to sing and create her own songs. Her most recent musical influences are ODESZA, Sia and ARIZONA.

She grew up singing with her brother, Mike, who played piano. They wrote their own original music, starting in elementary school. The duo’s performances began winning awards in their respective musical areas, from middle school through college.

Eventually, living in different states, they drifted into their own adult lives, doing their own things. Christina's ex-husband posed the statement, “choose music, or me,” when they were dating. And she chose him, thinking that was the responsible, “grown-up” thing to do. For years, she lost herself in that difficult, abusive marriage.

But there was a silver lining. During that painful time, her relationship with God deepened immensely, as she began realizing that she was loved, no matter what. This love gave her the strength and ability to love herself, and others around her more deeply.
