Biography of the artist
Krystyna (Kristonko) – Ukrainian musician, singer, blogger. Khrystyna was born in a small village in Ivano-Frankivsk region – a place that became her first stage, first audience and source of inspiration. Khrystyna recalls her childhood with warmth, calling her village a space where there was everything for development – from living culture to sincere people. The artist’s family was ordinary. Her father worked as a carpenter, but in the past he was a musician. And her mother devoted many years to the work of a teacher.
Khrystyna began to sing at the age of three - her debut took place on the stage of a kindergarten. And even then it was clear that she was a future performer in front of the public. During her school years, the girl continued to perform, and teachers repeatedly noted her hearing, voice and natural charisma. Her parents supported her daughter by sending her to a music school for a piano class. Although studying seemed difficult and even exhausting, Khrystyna brought the matter to the end - primarily out of respect for her father. It was then that the future star had a dream - to buy her own synthesizer and create music.
After school, Khrystonko entered the Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University, where she chose a pedagogical direction. Already in her second year, the girl began to earn money as a street musician. This experience became an important stage that tempered Khrystyna as an artist and gave her the first real feeling of contact with the audience.
Blogging
Krystyna's blogging career started in 2020 - it was then, during the quarantine period, that she decided to try herself in a new format. At first, social activity caused surprise among fellow villagers and skepticism in the family. However, later the situation changed - relatives saw the potential of her daughter and supported the choice. Over time, the blog turned into not just a platform for self-expression, but a full-fledged tool for development in the music industry.
Kristonko frankly admitted that the blog became a kind of producer for her - all the money earned was invested in creativity: recording tracks, creating high-quality sound. This approach quickly yielded results - today Khrystyna is one of the most popular insta-stars in Ukraine, and her audience exceeds 700 thousand subscribers. Her popularity grew organically, and fans appreciate the influencer for her sincerity and openness.
Musical career
Khrystonko took her first steps in her musical career through covers of famous songs by Ukrainian artists, which she published on Instagram and YouTube. To improve the quality of her content, she invested her own savings - she bought an iPhone and a Yamaha synthesizer. It was then that Khrystonko's work began to rapidly gain popularity, and her videos - to find a new audience. People were attracted by the sincerity of her performance, because each track sounded "from the heart". Her debut single "Take Me", recorded in collaboration with Tyoma Pauchek, became an important release - without loud expectations, but with a sincere reaction from fans.
Khrystonko's talent was noticed by Ivan Klymenko - the leader of the Kalush group. Collaboration with him was an important stage: the producer helped Khrystyna understand the structure of songs, the principles of creating compositions and opened up new opportunities for her. It was then that the tracks “Childhood”, “Goydayu”, “Serdenko” appeared. This creative union gave the singer confidence and became a real boost in her career. Later, Kristonko chose an independent path, already having the necessary knowledge.
In 2021, Khrystyna released a cover together with the The Faino project for the track Rampampam by singer Minelli. The video clip gained over 3 million views and actually made Kristonko a media star. After that, the artist began to actively record her own songs, shoot video clips and develop her style - and all this without external financial support, relying only on her own resources and perseverance.

Khrystyna Khrystonko's creativity is a combination of emotional depth, sincerity and modern sound. Each of her songs is a separate story, born from personal experiences or inner feelings.

Kristonko's song style is distinguished by honesty and openness, which makes it easy to find a common language with the audience. That is why her songs often end up in fans' playlists and have the potential to sound in the charts. The artist's charisma, her naturalness and ability to convey emotion make each live special. Christina's creative path has already become an example for many, proving that perseverance and self-belief can lead to recognition.
