Having turned nineteen this year, Christian is quickly moving toward his ultimate goal; "I want the music that comes right from my heart to be heard by young people my age...I feel they'll make a very strong connection to it." Singing and performing for most of his life, this Jacksonville, Florida native is no stranger to the stage. Christian's dad is a successful performer touring the country with his anti-drug & anti-violence show that in the past, often featured his young son in the production. "While my music is straight forward pop, I've always respected the message in my dad's music. Parents have the strongest influence on their kids", says Christian. Discovered and nurtured by Lunchtime Productions when he was only thirteen, Teddy Castellucci and Tom Mgrdichian have been planning to launch Christian's career when they knew he was truly ready. "Writing and producing the music for Adam Sandler's film, 'The Wedding Singer' and his newest soon-to-be mega hit, 'Big Daddy', has taught us that every artist, like Adam, has their time...when they can't be denied. This is Christian's time", remarked the two "T" guys. "We knew with Babylon Records and Dennis Lambert's involvement, this project would get the shot it deserves. Christian's first single, "Safe In The Arms Of Love" (Babylon Racords/Trauma Records (BMG), is due out in August '99 with his debut album to follow in September. "I'm a really big fan of groups like the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync", commented Christian. "I'd like to think that my music will deliver the same kid of intimate musical experience theirs does."

CANADA'S OWN HANSON....The Moffatts are being compared to Hanson , but Hanson is the one who was inspired by The Moffatts to become a band . So why have most music lovers never heard of this group? I found out that The Moffatts used to sing country but have recently decided to change to pop-rock because most teens don't listen to country . The Moffatts consist of four brothers, Scott , 14 and his 13-year-old triplet brothers , Bob , Clinton and Dave . They were born in Victoria , B.C. and then moved to Nashville , TN . Once the Moffatts hit their teens they started listening to pop and rock music . Even country-star Garth Brooks is supportive of them . He said to their father , Frank ,"It's way better that the boys are singing this pop rock;if I was their age , I'd be pissed at you if I had to sing country. " The Moffatts have been working hard at playing their instruments . Scott plays quitar , Bob plays drums , Clinton plays bass and Dave plays keyboard-- and take to stage with NO other backup instrument players (unlike Hanson). They say their new album is a lot like the Beatles--it's kind of A-Z. Their cd was released this Spring! Check out your local cd store for their album and debut pop single ,"I'll Be There For You."
