From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cristina Adriana Chiara Scabbia (born June 6, 1972 in Milan, Italy) is one of two vocalists in the Italian gothic metal band Lacuna Coil. She also has an advice column, alongside former Pantera member Vinnie Paul in the popular rock magazine Revolver. Although Scabbia attracts attention for her attractive appearance, she has said that the biggest compliment that a fan could pay her would be to remark on her vocal abilities.
Background
Scabbia listened to music as a young child with her family, which included two brothers and a sister. Though her sibling's musical preference differed from Scabbia's, she said her very first influences were from bands such as Genesis, Led Zeppelin, AC-DC, and traditional Italian music. She began to take intrest in metal music in her 20's as well as 1980's music, which also included dance music. Scabbia has said it is difficult categorize what influenced her as a musician and she feels that any type of music has had an influence on her.
Scabbia first began using her vocal abilities to back up Lacuna Coil's then lead singer Andrea Ferro. The last member to join the current line up, she was a friends with the members previous to joining. When Lacuna Coil recognized her intrest to sing in the group, they planned to record a demo with Scabbia that would be sent to record labels and get the group a record deal. Scabbia was initially asked to sing parts of the choruses, but the band liked the sound duality of the male/female vocals and asked her to be a permanent member.
Soon after recording the demo, they were immediately signed on the international label Century Media. Originally signing with the Century Media branch located in Germany, Lacuna Coil joined up with the American branch of the label. Even before the first album's release in 1997, they immediately began to tour.
Personal life
Scabbia was once engaged to fellow Lacuna Coil bandmate, bassist Marco Coti Zelati, but their relationship has since come to an end, though they remain in the same band. She is now dating James Root from American based groups Slipknot/Stone Sour.
Scabbia enjoys watching movies, cooking, photography, shopping, clothing and spending time with her friends and family. When in the United States, she takes pleasure in watching the Food Network and is a fan of Emeril, who she claims is "the man". Scabbia also likes to watch Giada DiLaurentis's program Everyday Italian and Rachael Ray's program 30 Minute Meals. She took an intrest in Peta and became against the use of fur in clothing after watching an animal cruelty video given to her by friends.
Scabbia's favorite bands are said to be Depeche Mode, Linkin Park,Korn, and In Flames. Her favorite colors are Red, white and black (all equally) and her favourite Lacuna Coil album is Unleashed Memories. |
