PLEASE SUPPORT MY OTHER SITES IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN GETTING YOUR FACE BLOWN OFF BY MATERIAL THAT'S ON THE "GENIUS" LEVEL (if you're not already privy to GJ and HA, get hip to 'em), AND FIND OUT WHY THESE MEN ARE CALLED "THE KINGS":
Don't be fooled by the innocent face, Chrissy is a resourceful "Jill of all trades", who has been singing, dancing, and acting since she was a tiny tot, although singing was the love that obviously won out. Growing up as an "NYC theater brat", Chris performed at several regional and off Broadway theaters and supper clubs up and down the east coast, including the historic Fulton Opera House, The Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre, Good Speed Opera House, American Music Theater, First Stage, Manhattan Supper Club, Walnut Street Theatre, PaperMill Playhouse, Ephrata Playhouse in the Park, and Three Little Bakers and has had roles in shows such as Annie, Ruthless!, The King & I, Evita, South Pacific, Annie Warbucks (Annie 2), The Nutcracker, Babes in Toyland, Cinderella, Flower Drum Song, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Christy-the musical, Disney's Mulan-adapted for the stage, and Les Mis.
Chrissy's songs "Real Woman" and "Gonna Be" can be heard on national television shows such as the Fox series, "Prison Break", the Showtime series, "Masters of Horror", and Oxygen Television for Women's "Pop School", just to name a few! Chrissy's song "Strut" is currently at over a million and a half plays on Clear Channel's "Discover New Music Chart", and she has consecutively been the "Most Played Unsigned Artist" for several months straight on that chart in particular. Chrissy was also the featured artist for "Boston Fashion Week", sponsored by Buick.
Chris independently released "Relentless" to favorable reviews, and that release is available via all the online digital music stores such as iTunes, AOL Music Now, Yahoo Music Unlimited, EMusic, Napster, Virgin Digital, HMV Digital, MSN Music and many more.
Chrissy has received terrestrial radio play on the Clear Channel station WRVV-The River, HOT 92 Harrisburg-PA, CBS' WGLS-FM-New Jersey, CBS station KYOU radio, and WKZL in North Carolina to throw a few stations out there, and in addition to mainstream radio, Chrissy's aptly titled powerpop fusion has been played on podcasts and online radio shows all over the US, UK, Europe and Asia, including Japan, Scandinavia, England, Greece, NYC, Chicago and L.A.
Chrissy has been featured on Adam Curry's (of MTV fame) "Daily Source Code" show, where she was again the "most played artist", as well as being played over 100 times on the show "Music That Lasts" (CBS/KYOU radio San Francisco), and the Tower Records site "Tower Pod". Her song, "I Took Your Boyfriend" was a number one track for the Podshow.com network, where she was also the number one artist. In addition to this, Chrissy's song, "My Slushy" went to 1 on the IAC Music Big 50 chart. Chris has been a featured artist in London's "Punk Globe" magazine, as well being "Jam Studio Inc's Artist of the Month" in PA, was nominated for "New Artist of the Year" by "StarShine Magazine" in NYC, and has been featured on the Ryan King show multiple times.
Chrissy has been plugging away recording demos and doing session singing since childhood. Through the years she's had the opportunity to collaborate with platinum producers Dow Brain and Brad Young of Underground Productions (their credits include: LFO, Aerosmith, Boston, Tracy Bonham), as well as the co writer of her song, "Big", Rich Cronin, who was formally a part of the platinum hip-hop/pop rock trio LFO, and now VH1's "Mission: Man Band”. Chrissy has also worked with cowriter Taryn Murphy whose credits include "Wisegurls" starring Mariah Carey. Other collaborator’s include Deanna Dellacciopa, whose music has been featured on the MTV reality hit, "Laguna Beach: THE REAL O.C.", as well as writer Sam Conjerti, writer for LFO and co-writer of Chrissy's songs "My Slushy" and "Danger". And last but not least, Chrissy has worked with the uber-prestigious production team of Alex Greggs and Dennis Shaw of South Rakkas Crew (NSYNC, T-Pain, M.I.A, Lily Allen, Chris Brown, Kelis, Bounty Killer, Beanie Man, Justin Timberlake, Beck, Brandy, Good Charlotte, Duran Duran, Pink, Rodney Jerkins/Michael Jackson and Shakira)
In the past Chris has modeled for Sears and Macy's and has appeared in commercials, television shows, video, pilots, and industrials such as PopStars 2, Star Search 2000, Al Albert's Showcase and was a regular cast member of "Pete's Place", a children's variety/comedy show. She's participated in numerous pageants and competitions over the years, including Star Power and Showbiz. Chris has won several vocal scholarships to the prestigious Pennsylvania Academy of Music, and has training in classical, broadway and all pop styles of singing. She has studied dance at Koresh Dance Center in Philadelphia, as well as the Broadway Dance Center, and has training in tap, jazz, lyrical, ballet, gymnastics, belly dance, hip-hop, martial arts, voice and acting. She was in all of her school's PMEA award winning audition groups including vocal ensemble, chamber choir, glee club, gospel choir and mixed chorus. Chrissy has also had a blast honing her behind the scenes chops working for Warner Brothers/Reprise Records recording artist's Head Automatica and Glassjaw as a webmaster and fan club president. She is also currently a promo/spokes-model for AXE cologne, Dove hair products, and Honda Civic Tour, just to name a few of her promo's. So look out, Chrissy's eclectic mixture of pop, rock, and soul all rolled up with a little girl smile is going to be garnering mass appeal in the coming months, and you don’t want to miss out!

Thanks soooo much my angel. I love you more. Xoxo. *~*
then some fan did a lyric sheet for your other song that was on the video game guess they took the back drop from the video game of the portion that had your song in it. The anime doll in the video is you but i guess you knew that. Anyhow the game is really cool and fun. This lyric sheet that this girl did of you was cute. Do you even get to see any of this Chris? You're famous like whoa all over the place but you seem so busy that you don't even enjoy. here ya go dance audition video game presented by red bana japan season two Chrissy Slushy
just posting this because it's funny because it's the dance that you do.just makes me laugh to see it plus you are the only chick i know that can do it right. just posthing his for fun
don't know if you saw this but a fan of yours in Korea or something made this viral vid of your Slushy song and these school kids all have it and stuff it's really cute. if you want i can tell the fan that you saw it because i go on there a lot. She was doing some tribute to you and the Wonder Girls that Korean group. but anyway here's your song and i guess she made these graphics
We also play your song Strut in the lightening round. during the most difficult part of the choreography section that's where they play your song in the game so here's that section of you
then i also play this setting after your setting. i do chrissy strut first then the next setting right after it is Michael Jackson Smooth Criminal. i mean in the sequence of the game your and Michael's songs are right next to eachother
Aww Chrissy my teach saw the you tube clips from the video games with your and MJ's songs in it and he was like omg my daughter plays that video game, wait, is that why are those songs are so familiar? And I was like hell yeah that's Chrissy's songs and Michael's Smooth Criminal and he was like yeah my daughter always plays those two settings (meaning yours and then MJ's) So now my entire English class is fairly obsessed with Dance Audition plus the fact that you and MJ are on the same game rocks. It makes sense though because you have the same fan base due to all of the connections. and by the way I love all of the music you did A.G. and we saw his name in the credits of Michael's cd and your stuff too I forget if i told you that and my prof was like oh yeah I think I knew that! It's just the talent that's unstoppable. You are such a sweet and good person Chrissy and so talented I'm so proud of your accomplishments as your fan and admirer. that mj dance game is WAY famous in Asia too in addition to the usa i was flicking through the game so i had to post my favorites from it obviously YOURS and MICHAEL's were the best 2:
Man F*CK those fans. The reason I even found out about you was through Heal the Kids Foundation way back when. That person doesn't even know what they're talking about. Thanks for everything that you do for your fans. The way you communicate with us nicely and give freebies and hang. I adore you and your talent but I can't even handle some of your other fans and the MJ fans. They get too possessive of you. You rule all as an artist and you rock my world. Your lyrics are insane. You've got the high energy and the rockin melodic voice. So many achievements. I'm just laying low now though cos I cannot bare the fans. You rock my face though Chrissy. True star and always so classy and loving to the fans and best of all your talent is bananas the vocals, the dance, the instruments, the lyrics. It's great. Hope you release those old ass demos from the Pokemon soundtrack songs, I think they're still my favorite and the disney song. You were a prodigy back then kid. Take your time writing back. Know your busy. Good luck See you at the concert soon. Your fan, J
