Christina Perri was born born August 19, 1986 in Philadelphia.  She is now 24, she’s covered in tattoos, she’s been married, she’s been divorced, she has made olive oil in Italy…basically, she has done a lot in her life. And now she is tip-toeing down to road to stardom with her musical gifts.

Her first public singing was in church at the age of 6, piano lessons started at 8, and musical theatre at 11. She taught herself to play guitar while watching tapes of Blind Melon performances, and attended Philadelphia’s University of the Arts for a year.
