Yolanda Hinton, an accomplished singer, has made great strides in developing and creating a unique and special musical style.
Born in Brooklyn New York, is where she was influenced and surrounded by many musical genres and talent.
Yolanda became involved in music at an early age; participated in musical productions and plays and always noticed for her beautiful, graceful character and great talent. Her signature brand is: “The Lady”.
Yolanda moved from New York to Virginia, after losing her father in a tragic subway accident. Her father’s death caused her to look deep inside her heart to find her purpose in life. She soon discovered people who were lonely and hurting, thus influencing her dream of traveling the world and reaching the masses with a message of hope and healing through music.
Yolanda first reached out in her local community, singing in churches, group homes, youth groups, and drama
companies as well as winning several local music competitions.
Yolanda felt her career needed to move beyond the local arena. She knew that in order to reach national and international audiences, she would have to make drastic moves. She started her own independent record label, Cristo Records™ in 1992. Although she says “the music business is hard”, she still followed her dream and passion to start and make Cristo Records a successful business. With her record label, she produced various artists, created many radio shows, and musicals and traveled the world.
Her album My Secret Place was the start of something big. It had a great amount of progress and Yolanda
quickly invited to Europe to perform with the European Metropolitan Orchestra.
Happy about her success, and felt so blessed that she wanted to give back. Yolanda gave back to the community by establishing Cristo Community Development Corporation, a 501 c3 non-profit organization which started in 2004. CCDC provides mentoring and literacy programs for youth. CCDC also produce and host an annual musical event which provides toys and bicycles for needy families, food and warm clothing for senior citizens.
Cristo Records takes pleasure in introducing Yolanda Hinton in her newest single: Just Keep Looking Up, a song from her forth coming project, entitled: Giving You More.
Just Keep Looking Up is an upbeat inspirational message that will encourage any listener.
