SONG IN HER HEART

Petite but powerful chanteuse Christina Milian is everywhere this season— be it FOX, her E! reality show, or the top of the music charts. NewYou learns the mix of her magic.

or as far back she can remember, captivating Christina Milian, 34, was determined to express herself—openly, intimately, universally. Gifted with a vivacious voice and natural stage presence, Milian knew show business was her destiny since she was a little girl growing up in Jersey City. How was she able to rise to the top of the crowded crop?

You need only meet the bright and mighty Milian for a brief moment to see her sparkle and spunky style resonate. She began writing songs at 17, landing a contract with Def Jam a mere two years later. Now, with a plum role on the hot, hilarious John Stamos-led FOX sitcom Grandfathered, three Billboard charting albums under her bedazzled belt, a self-funded album on the loose as of October 30th, and her own reality show on E! premiering November 3rd (not to mention co-hosting this year’s E! Emmy red carpet pre-game and her own clothing line, We Are Pop Culture), Milian’s skyrocketing star isn’t about to “dip it low.”
