About a year ago while at a Toronto Raptors game, I looked around and to my surprise I saw Christina Milian 10 rows away. I turned to my friends with excitement and pointed "Tina Turn Up" out. Much to my surprise they did not know who she was and thought I was just in awe of how beautiful she is. I WAS SHOCKED.
​
Christina Milian first came into the industry at 19 years old, signing a record deal with the iconic label Def Jam. Although she is not considered an A-list artist, she has been successful in the music industry ever since getting signed and has a fan base that will always ride with the music she drops. Christina also did the theme song for one of the most popular shows from my childhood, Kim Possible. If you are 20 years old like me, you know the significance of this show and now you know that you had been hearing Christina sing everyday throughout your childhood without even knowing it. Christina has five successful albums, a successful EP and countless successful singles. These days she still releases music occasionally to feed her ride or die fans. Very few have been able to have the success and longevity Christina has had in the music industry. Check out one of her most popular singles "Dip it Low" below.
Oh wait, you thought Christina Milian is just an artist?! She is also a successful actress, model and businesswoman. She has had roles in countless movies and television shows including the iconic 2003 movie "Love Don't Cost a Thing". Because Christina is one of the most beautiful girls in the entertainment industry she has been able to put together a very successful modeling career as well. Christina is also a BOSS and knows how to take care of her business. She has her hands in so many business ventures that there is no point even trying to name them all.
​
Christina doesn't let her success get to her head and always shows her genuine positivity and amazingly unique energy every time she is out in public. This is clear in every interview she does and every time there is a camera around her. You won't catch Christina walking by her fans without even acknowledging them. She also is involved in countless charities and always speaks up for what is right. Christina has no problem saying what needs to be said on social issues and she has always stood up for Latinos when they needed a voice to represent them.
​
Very few have achieved the level of success and have been able to have the longevity that Christina Milian has had. Next time you mention Christina Milian make sure you call her what she is... A LEGEND.
