Kristinia DeBarge's first single off her debut album is already looking like a smash at pop radio and can be heard in Nivea's latest TV campaign. It may be called "Goodbye" but she's not going anywhere! At just 19-years-old, Kristinia's emotions run deep. She's learning and growing while she experiences life, love and relationships along with her young fans.
Kristinia knows that she doesn't have all the answers but on her captivating first album, her fans will absolutely relate to her as they join her ride of self-discovery. Kristinia is no stranger to the music business. She's the daughter of 80s pop star James DeBarge but her road to a record deal was not handed over to her without patience, perseverance and hard work. Kristinia knew she wanted to be a singer at the age of three but didn't reveal this passion to her dad until she was twelve.
In 2003, she appeared on American Juniors, a younger version of the wildly successful American Idol. She made it all the way to the Top 20. At fourteen, she met Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds. Babyface and Kristinia spent the next four years developing her voice and writing skills. In 2008, Babyface co-founded Sodapop Records with Jeff Burroughs. In February 2009, Kristinia signed a major recording contract with Sodapop/Island Def Jam. Her debut album, Exposed was released on July 28, 2009. Exposed received generally positive reviews from music critics. The album debuted at number 23 on the Billboard 200.
