Cristof

 

From light soothing vocals to mesmerizing dancing, this performer is more than well known in his hometown and gains a following wherever he goes.

Beginning in the small town of Yale, Va. Cristof always enjoyed singing with his mother and sister for church functions & retirement homes. At the age of 12 he began to explore other musical styles and dance. Family recalls when he first began to dance.” He never took any lessons, but he would study videos with elaborate dance routines, then practice them himself.(Karen Barrett, mother) Michael Jackson was his biggest influence. “He’d always stop by mirrors in the house and try a new step he learned.”(Naomi, sister) “He knew he wanted to do it on a larger scale” his mother stated.

His mother, acting as his agent, began to arrange small appearances for him beginning with birthday parties and weddings. Then, slowly growing into larger venues in Richmond, VA.

Cristof became a well known singer/dancer and impersonator throughout Richmond.

His goal is to be the next biggest solo male pop artist. He currently writes his own songs and music and is working with a management team & studio to help produce an album.” Then we can shop my voice and music to major record labels!” he says.
