Christina Milian is a multi-talented
phenomenon whose resume includes film,
television, theater and music. With
starring roles in feature films and her
highly-anticipated debut album It's
About Time ready for release, Milian
is poised to take the entertainment
industry by storm.

You know her from the infectious single
"AM To PM" which hit the top position
on Billboard's Hot 100 Singles chart in
2001, yet that was just a taste of what
this multi-faceted young woman is
capable of. An accomplished singer,
songwriter, dancer, TV personality and
actress, Christina has become a star of
international proportions. She's gone
platinum, written hits for a slew of
international acts, hosted MTV's
Wannabes,' enjoyed two Top 5 hits on
the UK charts, recorded a smash that was
#1 on RadioDisney for 12 weeks, had roles
in several feature films and brought her
intoxicating pop/R&B grooves world

Add to Christina's amazing list of
accomplishments this; her long-awaited
Island release It's About Time.
Featuring production from some of the
heaviest hitters in R&B including Warryn
Campbell (Alicia Keys, Brandy), Corey
Rooney (Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey),
Polli Paul (Black Eyed Peas), Bryan Cox
(Usher, Lil Bow Wow) and songs
co-written by Christina, It's About
Time is a sizzling indication of who
Christina is and where she's at.

As Christina explains it, "Obviously
the title refers to the length of time
that it took me to complete this and
finally have an album available in the
US. But the other meaning is that I've
learned that everything in my career
has to do with timing. Clearly I could
have rushed to put an album out two
years ago when I first had a hit single,
but because I had to wait, it worked out
for the best. Everything happened for a
reason, and it's made me who I am. Which
means that this album is really a
reflection of me."

One listen to It's About Time and it
is clear that Christina is in a
decidedly more mature space. "I'm older
now. When "AM To PM" came out I was a
teenager. Now I'm 22 and so songs on
this album have a little more depth to
them." The depth is evident by the
album's R&B vibe and lyrics that have a
bit more edge. You can feel the sexy
point of view on cuts like the up-tempo
"Love." Produced by Warryn Campbell
and featuring label mate Joe Budden,
"Love" vibrates with a retro 80's dance

Another track guaranteed to make you
move is the rhythmic "Peanut Butta and
Jelly," produced by KP and EZ Tommy. "I
love that song," Christina offers. "It's
got this real energized beat; it
totally makes you wanna dance. It's
gonna be a great song for my live
shows". Equally propulsive is the first
single "Dip It Low," which came via new
comer Polli Paul. Although Christina is
one of the industry's most in-demand
songwriters (she co-wrote Jennifer
Lopez's hit "Play"), sometimes she seeks
out inspiration elsewhere. With her
album nearly completed Christina knew
that something was missing and as fate
would have it a friend turned her on to
a hot producer. "When I met Polli and he
played me "Dip It Low" I just flipped.
The song was crazy, so I just went right
back into the studio to record it and
everyone just loved it."

Yet it's not just on up-tempo jams where
Christina shines. Listen to the
lovelorn ballad "Someday Oneday,"
produced by Corey Rooney or the
emotional "Oh Daddy," and you will hear
an introspection that can only come with
growth." I've been through a lot these
past few years, both good and bad, so
it's natural that my songs are going to
reflect my thoughts."

Born to Cuban native parents in New
Jersey and raised in Maryland,
Christina has had her eyes on the prize
since she was only four years old. "I
remember as a kid watching TV and I'd try
to get inside of the television. That's
how much I wanted to be a star!"

While still young, Christina landed a role
in a musical theater play and later
parlayed that into a recurring part on
the Disney Channel's Movie Surfers.'
At 13 Christina and her mom (who she
cites as a major support) moved to Los
Angeles so that Christina could pursue
acting. Christina landed guest spots on
TV shows such like Charmed' and Sister
Sister' and provided voice over work for
the #1 film A Bug's Life.

In 2000 Christina gained worldwide fame
when her girlish vocals were showcased
on Ja Rule's #1 hit "Between Me and
You". Soon everyone was wondering who
was that girl singing the hook and
Christina's star began to rise.

Propelled by the overwhelming success of
the Bloodshy produced "AM To PM" Christina
started recording the collection that
was slated to be her debut. Suddenly,
Christina was a huge star in places
she'd only dreamed of and her music was
loved by fans that didn't speak English.
"I'd grown up watching people like
Michael and Janet Jackson. People who
were universal superstars, so for me,
being able to conquer different
territories was a very big deal. The whole
experience made me more confident and
proud that I could reach so many
people. Sure it was hard not having an
album available back home but in the
end it all worked out for the best. I
had the chance to tour (she hit 17
countries between 2001-2002) and work on
my songwriting. So everything happens
for a reason and I know I'm blessed."

The blessings also manifested itself
when it came to Christina's acting
career. In 2002 Christina was tapped
to host MTV's widely popular Wannabes'
and it was on an episode that she met
director Joseph Kahn. Kahn asked her to
audition for the feature film Torque
opposite Ice Cube. She secured the
part, which subsequently landed her the
coveted lead role opposite Nick Cannon in
the box office smash Love Don't Cost a
Thing. Christina's star continues to
rise on the silver screen with a lead
role in Cheer Up opposite Tommy Lee
Jones, as well as a choice part in Be
Cool (the follow-up to Get Shorty),
alongside John Travolta, Uma Thurman and

With a thriving film career, Milian
continues to be passionate about making
music. "Singing and acting are both my
passions and they go hand in hand."

She might have undergone a circuitous
route, but it seems that in 2004
Christina Milian is ready to stand in
the spotlight and go for hers. As her
album title would indicate, in the end
it's often about timing and with Christina
Milian, that time is now.

Hot new second album containing two
bonus remix tracks of Dip It Low. Comin'
