She spent years in her bedroom learning music software and production, playing small shows in the tri-state area. She was one of the first women to use Ableton Live and tour with the innovative program starting in 2006. After years of building RYAT on the east coast sectors and in parts of Europe, in 2011, she signed the project, under the infamous Brainfeeder / Ninja Tune labels, moved to Los Angeles and presented a fusion beat compositional album in 2012. Known for her improvisational skills, she would often be seen guest appearing and collaborating with top jazz musicians and choreographers. Some artists, she has worked with includes, Taylor McFerrin, Mark Guiliana, MAST, King Britt, Hagar Ben Ari, Tim Lefebvre, Calvin Weston, Jamaaladeen Tacuma, Terrace Martin, and choreographers, Jasmine Hearne and Kate Watson-Wallace.  In 2012, her performance career led her to sharing musical stages with artists like Thom Yorke, Questlove, Giles Peterson and Amon Tobin, and she toured extensively across the world, performing in sectors such as fashion week in Tokyo to Coachella.  Being in LA, naturally opened up opportunity for film/tv scoring, where she was featured with a live Orchestra, presented by the prestigious Echo Society, a collective top composers in Los Angeles. This launched opportunities for writing for TV and Film. Her film collaboration for Tasting the Moon, a documentary about women graffiti artist in Afghanistan, won Best Music Video at the Los Angeles International Underground Film Festival and Best Short at the 10th Annual Indie Fest USA International Film Festival. For this score, she sampled traditional Afghani instrumentation and infused hip hop and orchestral compositional elements. In 2014, she started building ALTMODE, a future interactive technology feminist focused dance piece, combining, multi-media, music and dance, which was a collaboration with Kate Watson-Wallace. ALTMODE debuted in Central Park in August, 2015. After debuting ALTMODE, which was intended to tour the festival market in Europe in the spring, she discovered she was pregnant and decided to take time off of touring. During that time, she started focusing on installation work, debuting the first round of an audio/visual interactive piece for Columbia College, in support of their Interdisciplinary Department and in collaboration with students there. In late 2016, she moved back to LA and took on a new position as a professor, teaching music producing and songwriting production for Berklee College of Music. In 2020, Christina and some friends, created a new Creative Production Agency called Moksa and focused on writing a memoir and working on music and concepts for her new music project.
