Christina Milian (/ˌmɪliˈɑːn/ MIL-ee-AHN; née Flores, born September 26, 1981)^[1] is an American singer-songwriter and actress. Born in Jersey City, New Jersey, but raised in Waldorf, Maryland, she signed a contract with Murder Inc. and Def Soul. Milian made her recording debut on American rapper Ja Rule's 2000 single, "Between Me and You", which peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100. Under Island Records, she released her 2001 debut single "AM to PM", which became a US Billboard Hot 100 top 40 single and a top 3 hit on the UK Singles Chart.^[2]

In 2002, she performed the theme song "Call Me, Beep Me!", for the Disney Channel animated series Kim Possible. Following a series of delays, her first album, Christina Milian, was only released internationally in 2002, where it charted moderately. Her second album, It's About Time (2004), spawned the number 5 Billboard Hot 100 and UK number 2 hit "Dip It Low" (featuring Fabolous). Her third album, So Amazin' (2006) yielded the US top 40 single and number 4 UK hit, "Say I" (featuring Jeezy). She parted ways with Island following its release and signed with MySpace and Interscope Records in 2008 to release the ballad "Us Against the World". She then signed with The-Dream's Radio Killa Records, but parted ways without any releases. In 2012, she signed with Lil Wayne's Young Money Entertainment.

As an actress, her first lead film role was in Love Don't Cost a Thing (2003). She subsequently had lead roles in the films Be Cool (2005), Pulse (2006), and in the direct-to-DVD film Bring It On: Fight to the Finish (2009). Milian also starred in the ABC Family Original Movie Christmas Cupid (2010). From 2015 to 2016, she starred in the sitcom Grandfathered. She is an entrepreneur and co-founded and co-owns Beignet Box, a dessert shop in the Los Angeles area.^[3][4][5]
