Biography

  • Full Name: Christina Maria Aguilera
  • Birth Place: Staten Island, New York, USA
  • Birth Date: December 18, 1980
Christina Maria Aguilera was born on December 18, 1980, in Staten Island, New York. Her parents divorced when she was young and she lived with her mother, although they moved around quite a bit.  Christina always knew that she wanted to be a performer and at the age of 12 she starred in the “Mickey Mouse Club.”

Her Latin Pop album “Mi Reflejo” which won a 2001 Latin Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album and her Christmas album “My Kind of Christmas” released during this period also sold strongly. In 2001, she participated in collaboration projects for Ricky Martin's “Sound Loaded” album and the “Moulin Rouge!” soundtrack, with which she won another Grammy Award for the track “Lady Marmalade” in the category Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals in 2002.

Aguilera took creative control over her second studio album “Stripped,” which produced the hip-hop-influenced “Dirrty” and the award-winning (including the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance) “Beautiful.” It received mixed reviews, and Aguilera's increasingly sexual image during its promotion became the subject of criticism, controversy and ridicule. Her third studio album “Back to Basics” (2006), which was preceded by the hit single “Ain't No Other Man,” included elements of soul, jazz and blues music. It was released to good sales and positive critical reception. She earned two more Grammy nominations, Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for “Ain't No Other Man.”

She began dating music executive Jordan Bratman in late 2002 and their engagement was announced in February 2005. They were married on November 19, 2005, in the Napa Valley.
