Christión was a male American duo specializing in R&B and music production, originating from the San Francisco Bay Area. The group consisted of brothers Allen Anthony and Kenni Ski. Their early career involved signing with Infrared Music Group, during which they contributed to works by artists such as Mr. Mike, 3X Krazy, and Luniz. In late 1996, they debuted with the single "Full of Smoke" under Roc-A-Fella Records. This track reached number 53 on the Billboard Hot 100 and climbed to number 15 on the R&B Songs chart.
Following the single's popularity, Christión secured a contract with Def Jam Recordings, which released their first album Ghetto Cyrano in late 1997. The album attained position 146 on the Billboard 200, number 23 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, and number 4 on the Heatseekers Albums. It featured two more singles that charted: "Bring Back Your Love" (peaking at No. 111 on the Hot 100 and No. 67 on R&B) and "I Wanna Get Next to You" (reaching No. 86 Hot 100 and No. 32 R&B). Additionally, Christión contributed to Roc-A-Fella compilation albums including Streets Is Watching Soundtrack and DJ Clue? Presents: Backstage Mixtape (Music Inspired by the Film).
Their appearances on other artists' projects were infrequent, limited to features on debut solo albums by The Jacka and Lil' Al. In 2003, Allen Anthony embarked on a solo path while maintaining his association with Roc-A-Fella, notably featuring on Freeway's track "Alright".
In 2005, Kenni Ski collaborated with T. Ross to release Christión's sophomore album Project Plato through The Mint Records. This project included guest performances from musicians like Bikram Singh, Ezra, Robbie Gennet, and Trae James.
