Cristobal is the musical alias of Lebanese singer-songwriter and visual artist Christophe Katrib. Christophe was born in France in 1976 growing up in Jeddah and Beirut. A self-taught musician, he started playing the guitar and writing songs and poetry in the early nineties but very irregularly throughout the years as his main activity was film making. It wasn't until recently that he started making his songwriting public, first through a myspace music page in 2007, and later through performances and recordings.
In December 2008 he was invited by Ziad Nawfal to Radio Liban for an interview and a live studio performance. He was also selected in 96.2FM's music contest and recorded "Over song" for the resulting compilation album in February 2009. The live radio recording of his song "As I walk" was also selected for Ziad Nawfal's "Ruptured Sessions vol.1" CD (April 2009). On stage, Cristobal is either alone with his acoustic guitar, or joined by musician friends (cello, indian percussions, bass, 2nd guitar, 2nd voice...)
