Cristina Scabbia started her singing career in 1991. At first, she sang for other bands as a touring musician. She also provided backing vocals, which means she sang harmonies behind the main singer.
Joining Lacuna Coil
Later in 1991, Cristina met Andrea Ferro and Marco Coti Zelati in Milan. They were forming a band called Ethereal. Marco asked Cristina to sing for them. She recorded some demo tapes, and everyone loved her voice. Soon, she was invited to become a full-time member of the band.
After some changes, the band members were Andrea Ferro, Marco Coti Zelati, and Cristina Scabbia. In 1996, they recorded a two-song demo. This demo helped them get signed by Century Media, a record label.
The Name Change
Once they signed with Century Media, the band learned that another group already had the name Ethereal. So, they decided to change their name to Lacuna Coil. This name means "empty spiral" in Italian. With new members joining, Lacuna Coil released their first album in 1999.
