Christina Novelli

Christina Novelli (born c. 1988) is an British singer-songwriter and trance vocalist who resides in Hertfordshire. She is the daughter of Jean-Christophe Novelli, a French celebrity chef. At the age of 17, influenced by the music of Motown, Johnny Cash, Elvis, Tina Turner, Lauryn Hill, Novelli started fronting her own bands.

In 2011 Novelli starred in a reality tv show on Channel 5 (UK) called Candy Bar Girls, a documentary series revealing the lives and loves of the staff and regulars at the world-famous Candy Bar in Soho, London. While on the show, Novelli could be seen performing a mix of some of her own material along with many covers, making them her own. Some of the songs sang were Goo Goo Dolls', ‘Iris’, Damien Rice’s ‘Cannonball’ and Bruno Mars’ ‘Just the way you are.' In mid 2011, Novelli went into the studio to work with song writer/producers Dee Adam and Ben Collier and wrote and recorded 'Concrete Angel'. The song was picked up and reworked by DJ Gareth Emery, and was released along with a music video, early in 2012 as “Gareth Emery featuring Christina Novelli”. By June of the same year, 'Concrete Angel' had entered the Billboard (magazine) at #25 on the 'Dance Music' charts, and currently has over 17 million views on YouTube. In December 2013, "Satellite" by Justin Caruso & Dave Audé featuring Christina Novelli, debuted as the #47 Dance Club Song in Billboard (magazine). Christina Novelli and Gareth Emery's song 'Concrete Angel' was nominated for the 28th Annual International Dance Music Awards for 'Best Trance Track' of 2013.
