Hailing from Oakland, CA, first cousins Kenni Ski & T. Ross are known throughout the world as the sleek soulful duo, CHRISTION. CHRISTION was formed in the late nineties by Kenni Ski and his brother, original band member Allen Anthony. Even with Allen's departure to pursue a solo career, Ski's production and storytelling remain the heart and soul of the CHRISTION sound.

And of course CHRISTION'S creative style of music still captivates the listener with dynamic vocals and compelling visions of the inner city, relationships, and life's struggles. When it was time to update the group's sound, and answer the public's repeated request for more CHRISTION material, Ski knew just who to call. T-Ross officially joined the group in 2003 to help deliver their latest offering, "Project Plato." The new album is a follow-up and direct link to CHRISTION'S first critically acclaimed effort, "Ghetto Cyrano." Since the group's conception, Christion has sold over 750,000 units individually, and have also lent their unique talents to gold and platinum soundtracks and compilations. The Oakland Tribune even dubbed them, "the next heirs to the Marvin Gaye and Curtis Mayfield throne." How did it all start, you ask? Well after years of demos and performing throughout California, Damon Dash & Jay-Z, Co-CEO's of the newly formed Roc-A-Fella Records received a demo of Christion's music from a mutual friend, Shelly Fontana.

After hearing "Full of Smoke" & "The Ghetto," Damon and Jay-Z knew they had struck gold, and wasted no time signing the group to Roc-A-Fella. "Full of Smoke" was the first single Roc-A-Fella released on the unsuspecting ears of the public, and it took off like a missile. The song, a chilling tale of a street hustler coming to grips with his lifestyle, struck a chord with millions of R&B and Hip Hop fans in the inner cities and throughout the world. The amazing production, soulful vocals, and heartfelt lyrics were a breath of fresh air in a time of musical mediocrity. ...show less
