Christina TortorelliExecutive Producer - New YorkChristina TortorelliExecutive Producer - New York
A native Brooklynite raised on Long Island, Christina’s eclectic love of music stemmed from her flower child Mother and doo-wop singing Father, who filled the car with their musical stylings on family road trips. She surely knew Jim Morrison and Dion and the Belmonts before Barbie and Rainbow Brite, and this passion for music accelerated the moment she hit the central New York airwaves as a radio DJ in college. Her appreciation of all genres encouraged her to broadcast a wide variety of tunes and, years later, led her to a career in music production for commercials, as the broad spectrum of daily creative briefs enabled her to quench this musical A.D.D.
Christina joins Nylon Studios after spending 7 years producing spots at tonefarmer, with the latter 4 heading up FAB, New York's most dynamic social network of women in film and advertising.
When not producing music, you can find Christina under water with her synchronized swim team, The Brooklyn Peaches, or up in the air working on her collection of sky miles. She currently lives in Carroll Gardens with her animator husband, Mike, with whom she collaborates on his short films.

She makes her way to Nylon having escaped a career on Wall Street to tour with her band, playing everywhere from Vermont to California, including the famed Yoshi's in San Francisco.
