We were in a band together 28 years ago and reconnected online by chance and both diagnosed with brain tumors. Now we are engaged!
We would like to thank you for supporting Rocco and Cristina in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
I was in his band when I was 17. We both ended up musicians. He is now a well-known producer, songwriter, and engineer, and I own a music academy and ended up being a musician and songwriter. I liked him back then, but he was 7 years older than me, so we were just friends, but I had a crush on him. I wondered what happened to him and looked him up to congratulate him on his success. The rest is history!
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?We played the historic Bluebird Cafe in Nashville after recording a song called Sorry that he wrote. He played guitar and I sang. The lyrics resonated with me, and it was very emotional for me because performing together after 28 years after leaving a terrible relationship and finding true love was surreal.
What would you do with $20,000?I would love to use the majority of it for my business, which helps people with disabilities access music lessons and group classes, and expand our reach, and I would love to have a small ceremony to marry my Prince Charming!
