Hailing from Michigan, Christina has lived in St. George for the last seven and a half years. She started writing her own music after an open mic in June of 2009, and found a passion for songwriting she never could have anticipated. She has played the guitar for six years, but only recently found a teacher in David Jorgensen, who has helped her improve her playing and writing immensely over the last month. She will be moving to Michigan at the end of June to write with her father, who is also a singer and songwriter.
