Christiaan Padavan is a pop and soul singer-songwriter from Hampton Bays, New York, known for his heartfelt performances and engaging storytelling. He gained national attention as a contestant on Season 17 of American Idol on ABC Network, where he earned a golden ticket to Hollywood with his renditions of “Vienna” by Billy Joel, “Toxic” by Britney Spears, and “Theme from New York, New York” by Frank Sinatra.

Beyond his American Idol appearance, Padavan has built a strong local presence on Long Island. He has been recognized as Dan’s Papers’ “Best Local Musician” for two consecutive years and has performed at various venues across the East End.

In 2024, Padavan released Songs For My Grandparents, a jazz album featuring classics from artists like Dean Martin and Nat King Cole. The project was recorded live at Cove City Sound Studios with Tedd Firth on Long Island and was inspired by his late grandfather.

His debut pop/soul EP, THE CP EP, released also in 2024, showcases his evolution as an artist. The EP delves into themes of love and heartbreak, offering listeners an intimate glimpse into his personal experiences.
