Christiana Bohorquez is a Curaçao-born artist, songwriter and creative producer whose work moves fluidly between performance, composition, education and creative direction. Raised in Curaçao and based in the Netherlands since 2009, she developed her practice in Rotterdam—graduating from the conservatory in 2013 and building a career that balances musical depth with structure, clarity and intention.

As a vocalist and writer, Christiana has appeared across major Dutch platforms and productions, including national television formats, and has worked both in the spotlight and behind the scenes as a backing vocalist and collaborator. Her work spans original bands, commissioned projects and long-term creative platforms, unified by a strong sense of identity, emotional precision and form.

Alongside her work as a performing artist, Christiana is one half of XILA Empire, a duo centered on cinematic songwriting and groove-driven production. Within the project she shapes compositions from the inside out—writing, arranging vocals and harmony, and building the musical architecture that defines the sound. She is also active within collective and worship-based contexts, including ADEM Project, contributing as a songwriter and vocalist.

Education is a foundational pillar of Christiana’s career, not an extension of it. In addition to her conservatory training, she holds a separate Bachelor’s degree in Teaching, grounding her creative work in pedagogy, developmental insight and long-term thinking.

She is the founder of Jam-it! Studios and Jam-Camp, initiatives dedicated to high-quality music education for children and young people.

A defining layer of Christiana’s trajectory is her background in elite sport. In 2015 she earned her jockey license and competed in professional horse racing in the Netherlands and internationally.

A background rooted in high-performance environments continues to influence her approach — bringing discipline, resilience and an acute sense of timing to everything she builds.
