As a second-grader, eight-year-old Kristina joined her school's choir writing her first song in third grade. She says she would write poems in class and then later set them to music. During her fifth and sixth grade years, she spent time in local studios recording demos. She participated in school talent shows in her native Ottawa. At 11, she enrolled in dance classes and took formal lessons, at the Canadian Conservatory of Music in Ottawa. She sang in many different styles, from pop to opera to R&B.
With her mother acting as her manager, Kristina performed at state fairs and exhibitions. In 2005 Kristina's vocal coach put her in a group named The Showstoppers with seven other girls and sent them to Florida to sing medleys of ABBA songs and Motown hits at theme parks like Disney World, Universal Studios and SeaWorld. In the summer of 2009, veteran music industry executive Vito Luprano (Céline Dion, Garou) heard some of her recordings and arranged to record some of her renditions.
Her single "Let's Play" from her first album, Tell the World (which is due out in March 2012), has peaked at number 19 on the Canadian Hot 100, on June 11, 2011. Her second single, "Co-Pilot" is currently on rotation on Canadian radio stations, and has reached number 26 on the Canadian Hot 100.
Kristina started performing on tour in Canada in May 2011, and her first album, Tell the World is due out on April 10, 2012.

Kristina Maria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I'm by myself
I try to dig deeper
But nothing makes sense
Its getting hard to pretend
'Cause baby I feel like a victim
Who fell for your sweetness
Boy now that your gone
You're all that I want
Time to cut the non sense
We Belong Together
I can't take it anymore
I want to kiss you from the bed to the floor
Baby
We Belong Together
Baby
Now until forever
And I know that it's right
I wanna take you home
And love you one night
Now until forever
Baby
We Belong Together
Its time to get honest
To you and myself
It's true that I wantcha
And nobody else
Please will you take me to the deep end
Will you love me till the end
So hurry, let's get there
Before it's too late
I can't take it anymore
I want to kiss you from the bed to the floor
Baby
We Belong Together
Baby
Now until forever
And I know that it's right
I wanna take you home
And love you one night
Now until forever
Baby
We Belong Together
I can't take it anymore
I want to kiss you from the bed to the floor
Baby
We Belong Together
Baby
Now until forever
And I know that it's right
I wanna take you home
And love you one night
Now until forever
Baby
We Belong Together
I can't take it anymore
I want to kiss you from the bed to the floor
Baby
We Belong Together
Baby
Now until forever
And I know that it's right
I wanna take you home
And love you one night
Now until forever
Baby
We Belong Together

Kristina is afraid of losing this person and knows that at this point, there is nobody else she wants to be with.
