About Christina Perri
Song-specific inspiration or recording background is not established for this entry. This sourced artist profile provides career context.
Christina Perri grew up near Philadelphia and was pursuing music in Los Angeles when Jar of Hearts reached listeners through So You Think You Can Dance in 2010. The exposure led to a recording relationship with Atlantic. A Thousand Years then connected her singing with the Twilight film series. Head or Heart developed her solo catalog in 2014, and she later recorded a collection of lullabies and sing-along material, broadening the mood and audience of her work.
