Born on December 18, 1980 in the bustling city of New York, Christina Aguilera has been one of the most influential and groundbreaking artist in the realm of pop today. Having a mix of Ecuadorian and Irish descent, Christina continues to raise the bar of pop music with her constant dishing out of pop hits one after the another.

Christina spent her childhood days attending the North Allegheny School District along the Pittsburgh suburbs in Pennsylvania. The little Christina already manifested an apparent musical inclination early on. Her musical sensibilities were shaped by Aretha Franklin, Nina Simone, Whitney Houston, Etta James, and Madonna. Christina was able to penetrate mainstream attention with her pop hit, "Genie in a Bottle" which was soon followed by her second album "Stripped" which had garnered such significant sales in both national and international markets. She is currently promoting her third album "Back to Basics" through an international concert tour.
