Biography
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 Pantera member Vinnie Paul in the popular rock magazine Revolver. Scabbia has said that the biggest compliment that a fan could pay her would be to remark on her vocal abilities.
Scabbia grew up listening to music with her family, which included two brothers and a sister. Though her sibling's musical preference differed from Scabbia's, her first influences were from bands such as Genesis, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, and traditional Italian music. She began to take interest 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.
