Cristina Adriana Chiara Scabbia (born
June 6, 1972 in Milan, Italy) is one of the two
vocalists in the Italian gothic metal band Lacuna Coil.
She also has an advice column, alongside Hellyeah 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.
Background: Scabbia grew up listening to music
with her family, which included two brothers and a
sister. Though her siblings' 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 20s as well as 1980s 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 friends with
the members previous to joining. When Lacuna Coil
recognized her interest to sing in the group, they
planned to record a demo with Scabbia that would be sent
to record labels to 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 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
began to tour.
She made a duet with the important Italian songwriter
Franco Battiato in the song "I'm that" (2004)
and she sang with him in a concert in Milan in 2005 (the
concert can be watched on the DVD "Un soffio al
cuore di natura elettrica"). Also she can be heard
on the single "Can you hear me" of the Italian
rock band Rezophonic. In 2006 Scabbia and all her
bandmates appeared, with many Italian bands, in
Rezophonic's videoclips "L'uomo di plastica"
and "Spasimo".
She appeared on a remake of A Tout Le Monde on the
Megadeth album United Abominations. The song is a duet
with Dave Mustaine and was to be the album's first
single but was later replaced with Washington Is Next!.
She will appear on the upcoming Apocalyptica album.
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 currently dating James
Root from American based groups Slipknot and Stone Sour.
Recently, Cristina Scabbia and Jim Root from
Slipknot/Stone Sour have lifted the lid on their
romance, which began during Ozzfest 2004. The two spoke
about their relationship and the fact that they both
work within the music business. They claim that this
helps to maintain their relationship, especially with
the long distance.
Scabbia enjoys watching movies, cooking, photography,
shopping, clothing and spending time with her friends
and family. Her favorite sport is football and she
supports A.C. Milan. When in the United States, she
takes pleasure in watching the Food Network.
Scabbia also likes to watch Giada De
Laurentiis' program Everyday Italian and Rachael Ray's
program 30 Minute Meals. 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 favorite Lacuna Coil album is
Unleashed Memories. She loves "black voices"
and her favorite singers are Tori Amos and Skye Edwards
from Morcheeba.
