We a great conversation with had on The Chris & Sandy Show with Josh Christina. We talked about so much from music, family, struggles to so much more. We told us how he comes from a musical family which was really cool to hear. he told us a few band stories too! Listen below
…a singer, songwriter and pianist who’s a combination of Elvis Presley, Elton John, Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis, who’s trying to bring new life to the “old school”.
It’s a path that seemed destined from the start. Born into a musical family, Baltimore-based rockabilly artist, Josh Christina inherited his musical chops from his father (a drummer), his mother (Baltimore-area singer Patti Christina), and his grandmother, who was a big band singer in the ’40’s and ’50’s. He’s spent the last 15 years honing his sound – a combination of the country, classic rock, big band and rockabilly he was raised on. And while most artists find the pressures of today’s music scene to look and sound a certain way daunting, Christina continues to find success in both Baltimore and Nashville by doing what he does best – being himself.
Christina’s personal journey began at age six, when he took an interest in the King himself – Elvis Presley. “Hearing Elvis for the first time, I remember thinking his sound was so unique and raw. I watched DVD’s of his performances – my favorite was his 1954 performance of That’s All Right. His sound was so clean, yet so edgy. As I developed as an artist, I found myself gravitating toward that same sound.”
