Christa Borden is a Canadian pop singer, known as the winner of the television reality series contest Popstars: The One in April of 2003.

As a child, Christa spent much time performing in public. Starting out singing folk songs and musical theatre and in her teens, operatic repertoire, she won many awards and scholarships from the St. John's Kiwanis Music Festival for both Piano and Voice. She was the runner-up in the Junior Rose Bowl in 1997, and then she landed her first lead role later that year as Anne Shirley in the Peter McDonald production of Anne of Green Gables.

In 1998, she won the Miss Teen Newfoundland and Labrador pageant.

In 1998 she attended Memorial University's Music School studying Voice. During this time she seriously studied the more classical forms of singing from early music to opera to cabaret. She graduated in 2003 with a Bachelor of Music degree in Vocal Performance.

Since April of 2003, she has continued performing and has been collaborating with other songwriters and musicians. She appeared on the cover of numerous local and national magazines, toured the province with fellow singer/songwriters Jackie Sullivan and Jacinda Beals, and performed in "Our Divas do Broadway" at Mile One Stadium in 2004.

Her debut CD entitled The Extremist was released in January 2006. Also that year, she guest-starred on the CBC Television series Hatching, Matching and Dispatching.
