Christina Perri

Christina Perri, a multi-talented singer-songwriter, was first thrust into the spotlight in 2010 when her debut single "Jar of Hearts" was featured on "So You Think You Can Dance." This exposure led to a contract with Atlantic Records, and her debut studio album, "Lovestrong," which was released in 2011, has since been certified platinum by the RIAA. Perri's success continued with the release of "A Thousand Years," a song written and recorded for the film "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2." The song has left an indelible mark, with over 10 million copies sold in the United States, and the music video has amassed over two billion views on YouTube. Extending beyond the digital medium, Perri partnered with illustrator Joy Hwang Ruiz to turn the song into a children's picture book with a projected release in 2025.

Perri's second studio album, "Head or Heart," was released in 2014, featuring the singles "Human" and "Burning Gold." She has shown her versatility as an artist by releasing lullaby albums such as "Songs for Carmella" in 2019 and "Songs for Rosie" in 2021. Her third studio album, "A Lighter Shade of Blue," was released in 2022, followed by the albums "Songs for Pixie" and "Songs for Christmas" in 2023. Not only a recording artist, Perri has also headlined her own tours, including the Lovestrong Tour (2011-2012) and the Head or Heart Tour (2014), and has opened for other artists, such as Jason Mraz and Demi Lovato, on their concert tours.

Perri's songwriting ability has been recognized at the 61st Annual BMI Pop Awards, where she received an award for "A Thousand Years" in 2013. She has also collaborated with other artists, including Lindsey Stirling, on the album "Brave Enough." In addition to her music career, Perri has experienced personal triumphs and tragedies, which she has shared with her fans through her music. This includes the release of the lullaby album "Songs for Rosie," dedicated to her late daughter Rosie, and the emotionally charged single "Evergone," performed on "Corden" in March 2022.
