Calista Quinn has spent over a decade lighting up stages and airwaves with her signature voice, bold presence, and passion for storytelling through music.

Born and raised in New Jersey, Calista’s career began early. At just 9 years old, she stunned a packed arena at Madison Square Garden during halftime of a Knicks vs. Bulls game. By 11 and 13, she had earned back-to-back child star wins at the legendary Apollo Theater, solidifying her as a rising star to watch.

At 14, she landed a coveted feature on Radio Disney and Disney.com with her original song and music video, Slumber Party—a project she wrote herself. This breakout moment led to a whirlwind of opportunities in Los Angeles, where Calista dove into songwriting, vocal production, and red carpet events. She was quickly scouted for NBC’s The Voice and ABC’s American Idol, performing on both shows between the ages of 15–17.

Despite her early acclaim, Calista rediscovered her roots in live performance. Since age 18, she has dominated the Tri-State and East Coast music scenes, performing across 100+ venues nationwide. With a large and loyal following at her live shows, she captivates audiences with a dynamic range—moving seamlessly between intimate acoustic sets and high-energy full-band performances.

Now 22, Calista tours every weekend with the nationally recognized act 3AM Tokyo, singing in front of thousands and showcasing her powerhouse stage presence (see more below). Beyond the stage, she is actively writing for herself and other artists in major music hubs including New York, Los Angeles, and Nashville, with her own highly anticipated personal projects set to drop after the new year.

A dedicated scholar as well as performer, Calista earned her college degree with honors while continuing to perform at major venues across the country. Today, she continues to evolve as both an artist and creator—balancing touring, songwriting, and vocal production—while staying true to her mission: to create music that connects, empowers, and leaves a lasting impression.
