Christina Perri

Christina Perri is an American singer-songwriter from Pennsylvania whose piano-driven, emotionally direct pop ballads made her one of the notable breakout artists of the early 2010s. Her debut single «Jar of Hearts» spread widely after appearing on the television show So You Think You Can Dance, helping her secure a record deal and launching her debut album Lovestrong.

Her profile rose further with «A Thousand Years», written for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1, which became one of the defining wedding and romance songs of its era and one of her biggest commercial successes. She continued to work in a similar vein of intimate, melodic pop with her second studio album Head or Heart.

Perri's sound centers on vulnerable songwriting and strong, memorable vocal melodies, often built around piano and strings, placing her among the singer-songwriters who bridged pop with more confessional balladry in the 2010s.
