Biography

Christina Maria Aguilera was born into a family of Fausto Wagner Xavier Aguilera from Ecuador and teacher of Spanish Shelly Loraine Fidler. The head of the family was a military officer for the moment; he was stationed in Canada and Japan, where his wife and two daughters lived with him. Her parents divorced when Christina was seven. The mother took the girls to Pennsylvania where they settled in a town under Pittsburg. Christina's mother married again. Fausto Aguilera wrote to his daughter, but she refused from any communication with him as her father was often rude to Christina and her mother, sometimes even physically abusive. Her problematic childhood became one of the constant themes of Aguilera's creativity, including the song Oh Mother from her last album Back to Basics. Since her early years Christina listened to Madonna, Aretha Franklin, and Whitney Houston. She strived to become a singer, winning all the local talent competitions. But Aguilera's gift had a darker side – her peers envied her, so they bullied and ostracized the girl, even slashed the tires of their family car. In the end, Christina's family had to move to another town.
