Kristina Maria honored at the SOCAN Awards Gala

At the 23rd annual SOCAN Awards Gala, held last night at Toronto’s Roy Thomson Hall, Kristina Maria received the Pop / Rock award for her song Let’s Play, with over 100,000 air-plays on national radio. Hosted by Seamus O’Regan, the SOCAN Gala recognizes the accomplishments of its members on the national and international levels, honoring the talent of Canadian songwriters, lyricists and music publishers.

Since the release of this first single, Kristina Maria has achieved great radio success in Canada. This Franco-Ontarian became known to the francophone markets of Quebec and France thanks to the hit Co-Pilot, recorded as a duet with the singer Corneille. Together, Kristina Maria and Corneille sang before more than 200,000 people on Morocco’s Agadir Beach for the 7th edition of the Concert for Tolerance in the Middle East.

For this festive season, two new singles from the singer can be heard across the radio waves. On the English side, Karma has blown up the charts, climbing this week to #19 of BDS Canada.

On the French side, Kristina Maria has, for the first time, sung the French parts herself on the bilingual version of We Belong Together. As well, Kristina Maria will participate in a TV special dedicated to Celine Dion that will be broadcast on France’s NRJ12 this December.
