We are looking for anything new that is playing in our cities. We discover the little artistic gems and let them take care of themselves. We learn who they are, how they got started, what they love and what they love to hate.
I am the and my name is…
My name is Christina Kritsa. Since I was 15 years old I have been composing and performing my own songs.
I'm playing...
The kind of music I play is pop, but it's not the only one that represents me. There are many other genres that I like and have influenced me.
My relationship with music started...
From a very young age, maybe since I can remember myself. That's why at the age of eight I asked to start classical guitar lessons, which I did, and so I began to take my first steps in the world of music.
My most important professional moment to date...
It's my current collaboration for my new song «Not Love», with Andreas Apostolou in the orchestration.
I love...
I love kindness, goodness, giving and humor in people, so I choose to have people with these qualities in my life.
I hate...
I hate the hypocrisy, injustice and exploitation that I see around me.
When I'm not playing music...
I do things that make me happy and take my mind on a journey, like reading a nice book, walking my dog, driving while listening to nice tunes and having a good time with my friends.
Artist «idol»...
Artist «idol» for me is the Eleni Tsaligopoulou. I love her voice and the way she expresses herself on stage. I believe that every artist should be unique and leave their own mark on the music scene.
Favorite lyrics...
«Why did you envy, why did you want the glorious Paris, anyway the world is a tequila everywhere’, his Manou Eleftheriou from Hamlet of the Moon, a song that touches me and I choose to sing at most of my live shows.
A song that doesn't belong to the style I play but I wish I had written...
A song that doesn't belong to the style I play but I would like to have written is «Karavi» to music George Theofanous and lyrics Thanos Papanikolaou.
Music is like...
Music is a ticket that can take you wherever you want to go. In your sorrows, it takes you by the hand looking for ways to heal your wounds and in your joys, it shows you ways to go free and happy, wherever you dream.
If I wasn't a singer/musician...
I would love to have a venue, a music scene or even my own recording studio, where I could host favorite artists and young musicians.
H politics...
It's an area that I haven't really been involved in and I don't know if I could be more involved in the future. It's something I don't enjoy, seeing what's going on around us.
Religion...
I have faith in God but I also believe in the power of man. With love, kindness and humility, we might have a better world.
In my immediate plans...
To get my degree and diploma in classical guitar, which I've delayed, having taken a short break for a while.
My new album...
In a little while I will release my new song, a ballad that I love very much. I hope people will embrace this song and love it, as they did with «It's Not Love».
