    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Christina Crossin is a well-known name in the NYC underground electronic music scene. Since her integration as an artist into the scene in 2014, she has focused primarily on mastering the art of DJing, curating unique performances through her characteristic manipulation of music and meticulous track selection. She has now shifted gears entering the world of production, bringing over fifteen years of classical training with her. Christina has had great success translating her classical foundation into her current sound. She has always resonated the closest with the deeper and darker elements of music, which is reflective in her bass heavy and minimal yet melodic sound. Christina has proven to be a very versatile artist, breaking the boundaries of a specific genre that would define her, while staying true to her roots. This has allowed her opportunities to grace the decks repeatedly at some of the best venues and parties in the tri-state area and nationwide. Christina began her musical journey at the age of four on the piano, which quickly escalated into private lessons on multiple instruments that continued through adulthood. She focused heavily on the cello, which she credits being the reason for her love of the deep sounds and bass. She was continually awarded musical honors throughout her primary and secondary education, and was an active member of many concert orchestras, pit orchestras, chamber orchestras, bands and jazz bands. After entering college as a Music Performance major, Christina decided to deviate from her original plan and pursue a career in the health care industry. She thereafter completed a BS and MS in Molecular Biology and Biomedical Science, respectively, however Christina’s path naturally lead her back to music, where she feels most comfortable and expressive to this day. As Christina focuses on fine tuning her production techniques, she remains a regular name on the bills of NYC’s top nightlife destinations including Schimanski, Output, Cielo, Analog, TBA and Space Ibiza NY. She notes that some of the highlights of her career have been playing at the highly recognized outdoor oasis and summer powerhouse, The Brooklyn Mirage, as well as playing alongside legendary artists Paul Oakenfold, Erick Morillo, Stacey Pullen. As she is constantly striving to reach and recreate new goals, Christina has set the bar high for herself, and her ambition and dedication will be undeniable in the days and years to come.
