"To be heard in a jury committee made up of amazing and respected artists like Tom Waits, Dido, Suzanne Vega, Robert Glasper, Alejandro Sanz and others and for my album, BARONESA, been chosen between thousands of submissions is truly a gift," says Cristina and adds "Moreover, be running in the same category as Macy Gray is awesome. I used to listen to her everyday back in the 90's when I lived in Galapagos. I totally dig her!"
