Early life

At a very young age, Paner's parents noticed her interest in music. Her adoptive parents were prominent celebrities as well. Her father Manny Paner was a well known basketball player while her mother Daisy Romualdez was an actress in the 1960s. Paner is the sister of Danita Paner, who is also a singer.

Career

Paner's parents convinced her to try singing at the age of nine and the song "Sana" was popularized by her. She tried acting too aged 10 when she starred in the film Sinasamba Kita as the young Lorna Tolentino who played the character role of Nora. She also did a Colgate commercial called "Colgate Winterfresh Gel" with fellow Triplets members Manilyn Reynes and Sheryl Cruz in the 1980s.

By that time her mother, having seen her acting potential, presented Kristina, then only 12, to Regal Films owner and producer Mother Lily Monteverde. She was soon offered a contract. She became a regular in television shows like Musmos Pa Si Boss with Niño Muhlach as the Boss, Ora Engkantada, and Wanbol High. She also became a cast of the youth-oriented variety show That's Entertainment.

In 1989, she had two launching films in Regal Films. These were Tamis ng Unang Halik, the film formerly titled Pepay Paypay and Huwag Kang Hahalik Sa Diyablo. That same year, the song "Tamis ng Unang Halik" became her signature song from her self-titled album. This song was also sung by Sharon Cuneta from the film Kaputol ng Isang Awit in 1991 under VIVA Films.

In 1990, she was nominated for Best Performance by a Female Recording Artist on Awit Awards for the song "Tamis ng Unang Halik". Alongside her were her fellow That's Entertainment co-stars Manilyn Reynes, Sheryl Cruz, Lea Salonga and Rachel Alejandro who were among the nominees. At that time, it was only Manilyn Reynes who had two songs nominated on that same category but in the end it was Rachel Alejandro who was announced the winner for her rendition of the song "Kay Tagal".

On June 6, 1994, Paner had her first major concert in Greenhills Theater entitled 'On My Own... Kristina Paner' with her as special guests were Rico J. Puno, Marco Sison, John Nite, Janno Gibbs and Chris de Venecia, and directed by Al Quinn. She sang the songs "The Nearness of You" a classic song which became very popular at that time from the PLDT commercial, "Let's Do the Twist/Let's Twist Again" medley, "Out Here on My Own" as popularized by Irene Cara, her singles "Tamis ng Unang Halik" and "Umiibig Ka Pala Sa Akin", and many others. The concert was under DR Productions in cooperation with Congressional Spouses Foundation, Inc.

In the mid-1990s, Paner also had the privilege to sing a duet with Tony Bennett with the song "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" when Bennett asked anyone in the audience to sing with him on stage and she volunteered to sing with him in his concert in the U.S.

In 2003, she transferred residence to Spain where she had a daughter with a Filipino-Spaniard.

In 2013, she came back to Manila with her daughter Luisane Kristiel. She has since been active in acting on television series.[1]

On April 21, 2013, she did a show at Zirkoh Tomas Morato with her sister Danita Paner with Ferown band, Sam Milby and Rico J. Puno. She sang a duet with Sam Milby on the song "Bakit Ngayon Ka Lang". The show was produced by DR Productions.[2]

In 2014, Paner had a series of shows at Casino Filipino (PAGCOR), at Mactan Satellite with Ramon Christopher (Feb. 12) and at 365 Plaza Satellite in San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte (Feb. 28). The other show was with her fellow Triplet member Manilyn Reynes.

In April 2014, she showed her other talent, dancing, which she learned from That's Entertainment and applied it on the show Celebrity Dance Battle for two Saturdays on TV5. Her challengers were actress Iwa Moto and showbiz news writer Shalala.[3]

On May 22, 2014, Lea Salonga wrote an article in the Philippine Daily Inquirer titled "Letting Young Voices Be Heard" wherein she mentioned both Kristina Paner and Manilyn Reynes; "...Here's the thing: Young artists are impressionable and malleable, which is a wonderful thing. If and when influenced the right way, you create a singer who carries not only proper technique coupled with emotional accessibility, but a great respect for their chosen art form. That was something cultivated very early on in me, and in many child singers back in the day. Voices of young singers like Kristina Paner and Manilyn Reynes always deserved respect not only because the tonal quality was just beautiful, but also because they were also able to express themselves clearly and from the heart. Theirs are voices I will be looking to for guidance as I coach my wards in preparation for battles."[4]

On July 17, 2016, Regine Velasquez's cookbook Bongga sa Kusina was launched and it featured the recipe titled "Tina Paner's Sinigang na Lechon" in one of its collections of delicacies when she guested on Velasquez's TV show Sarap Diva. The recipe also featured a picture of Paner's face beside the recipe title.

On September 9, 2017, she had a concert at the Music Museum with Manilyn Reynes and Sheryl Cruz titled 'The Triplet Concert' with guests from the series Meant to Be; Addy Raj, Ivan Dorschner, Jak Roberto and Ken Chan.[5]

In April 2019, Paner and her daughter Shane modeled for Style Stellar – The House of Bea Bianca launch.
