Biography
Christina Novelli was born in Southampton, England and is an up and coming name in the world of pop rock!
She is of French and Italian descent from her father’s side (Jean-Christophe Novelli) And of English descent from her mothers side. As a child, all Christina wanted out of life was to become a singer, and she was driven by the music of Motown, Johnny Cash, Elvis, Tina Turner, Lauryn Hill and is currently influenced by Paramore, Pink, Biffy Clyro and Dashboard Confessional
Being raised on Motown, music is in her soul and has been singing from an early age, and started fronting her own bands from 17. Her vocal abilities range from R&B to rock pop, and she has had several studio projects, including full band and acoustics.
At the age of 21 Christina fronted a band called Gone Til Monday, and turned solo in 2008. For the past two years, she has been touring the UK extensively. Stripped down and acoustic or with a full-on band, she’s proved the power of her singing, her songwriting and her stage persona and built a very large, loyal and fanatical gay and straight following, gaining momentum with every show
She has amazed crowds all over the world with her powerful infectious voice and has an amazing ability to engage the crowd she is performing. She plays guitar but with a twist, she can play a right handed guitar, upside down (She is left handed)
Christina has played countless venues in and around London (where she is based), including Barfly Camden, KoKo Camden and The Proud Galleries, to name a few. She has also sung at various venues in the USA-; Whiskey a go go (Hollywood) and The House of Blues (California), as well as these gigs she was asked to play at The Midlands Music Festival (supporting The Sugababes, Lemar, Blue and Atomic Kitten) and also Whitehaven Music Festival (supporting Belinda Carlile and N-Dubz).
