Cristina's path into music was not straightforward. While she grew up with a passion for music—learning the piano from her grandmother and developing an interest in Britpop and Italo disco during her teenage years—her professional career initially followed a different route.

With the rise of self-released music, Cristina felt it was crucial to equip artists with the tools they need to navigate the business side of the industry.

Cristina’s personal experiences as a mother have informed her mission to create a more inclusive and flexible environment within the industry, particularly for women and parents who often face additional challenges in balancing professional and personal lives.

One of Cristina’s most significant personal projects is her mentoring program,
