Meet The Owner
Christina DeNee’
is the founder and creative force behind Big Head Cartoon. A lifelong entertainer, musician, visual artist, and entrepreneur, she brings nearly two decades of experience to the live and virtual events industry—blending creativity, performance, and innovation.
A caricature artist herself, Christina launched Big Head Cartoon in 2009 in her hometown of Buffalo NY. Rising above the noise level with unique marketing and partnerships in the local hospitality industry. Relocating to Nashville in 2019, she and partner Scott Calandra made a bold pandemic pivot in 2020 with Big Heads & Beats—a virtual experience combining live digital caricature art, live music, and emcee entertainment. The concept quickly gained global traction, putting Big Head Cartoon on the international corporate event map.
Christina is also the lead singer and co-producer of the independent pop/rock duo BREAKERBOX, with music featured on MTV, VH1, and ESPN. She’s most recently the founder of #LifeInTheDIY, a platform empowering creatives to turn their talents into thriving businesses through workshops, speaking engagements, and community resources.

The Beginning
