MINI-BIO:

Born to Cuban-native parents in New Jersey and raised in Waldorf, Maryland, Christina Milian has amassed an extensive resume at an early age. She landed a role in the musical theater play Annie, and later became a junior journalist on the Disney Channel's Movie Surfers, all before she was a teenager. Before igniting her musical journey, Milian appeared as a guest on several TV shows, such as Clueless; Sister, Sister; Smart Guy; Charmed; The Steve Harvey Show; and as a recurring character on Get Real. She also voiced a character in the animated film A Bug's Life, and made an appearance in the film The Wood starring Taye Diggs. Milian can also be seen as the host of MTV's hot show Becoming Presents: Wannabes. But it was the song she wrote for Ja Rule, "Between Me and You," that thrust Milian into the spotlight. When listeners caught a glimpse of R&B's next big thing, they sat up and took notice. Milian's talent for songwriting was noticed by Jennifer Lopez, and Milian later went on to co-write Lopez's hit "Play," off her immensely successful 2001 album J.Lo. Milian's energetic personality came across on her own first self-titled debut album that teamed her with production wizards Jermaine Dupri ("A Girl Like Me") and hot up-and-comer Bloodshy. Island Def Jam Records is scheduled to release Milian's highly anticipated newest album, It's About Time, in March 2004.
