Cristian Alexanda- Bio
May 2003
 It was always acting which intrigued Cristian until school mates heard him sing in class and vehemently told him to pursue music – his other ambition. Torn between his love of rap and soul, he decided to pursue the genre which the likes of Stevie Wonder and D’Angelo had inspired in him. Rap took a back seat…for the time being.
From his grass roots of Jamaica, Cristian used his cultural background in defining a style that he could mould into what was then and now. And so he took heed of what his classmates said and began singing at various school functions and charity events around his hometown, Perth, Australia. From here, he formed his first band ‘Playtime’. Joining him was local writer and producer, Audius, who recently wrote and produced Selwyn’s album, ‘Meant To Be’. This lasted two years and the desire to succeed as a solo artist took charge. Cristian hence signed with Legit Music and his first solo demo album is currently in production. (Producers are Disco Montego aka Dennis and Darren Dowlett and Audius).
The inspiring nature and determination of Cristian is driven by his belief that what you get you give. Producing for others is certainly on the cards for this 20 year old, and helping others find and follow their goals in music will one day be his greatest achievement yet. In doing so, he aims to simultaneously perfect his craft and become apart of Legit Music in discovering new talent and bringing them to their fore.
Individuality is the key for Cristian and in doing so, he researches and listens to a myriad of artists, acknowledges what he likes in their style and omits what’s uncomfortable to his nature, then finds his own. Therefore the idea of vocal training is not something endorsed by Cristian. In reference to his own musical strengths, he bases that on trial and error, and experimentation.
Seems like a winning formula so far.
Outside the sound studio, he doesn’t stray too far from his love of music, because his love of basketball marries the two. With the game comes the sporting culture and in that arena, R&B, Hip Hop and Rap are defining genres.
2003 marks a big year for Cristian as he has signed as Legit’s first artist to release through their newly formed label. In March this year Cristian was voted artist of the month on the influential UK R&B site www.vibinmusic.co.uk. May, saw Cristian, doing some performances in Asia and he released his single in Malaysia.
