Christell Jazmín Rodriguez Carrillo, better known as Christell, is a Chilean former child singer. She has recorded three albums, and was nominated for a Latin Grammy Award for her second record production.

Christell is the only daughter of Christian Rodriguez and Myriam Carrillo, both members of a musical Christian group.
At the age of 5, on July 1, 2003, Christell competed in the TV show Rojo Fama Contrafama. The contest was to find the "double" of Maria Jose Quintanilla; a girl who could sing or resemble her.
After an agreement with the Warner Music Group, Christell released her first album in November 2003.
In 2005, Christell toured in Mexico, Puerto Rico and Latin communities of the United States, like Miami and Los Angeles. In November, Christell was nominated to the Grammy Latino for her second album La Fiesta Continua.[3]
Doce Company signed a contract with her manager to create a cartoon with Christell's image. After a disagreement between the parents of the singer and her manager, the project was canceled and only a few products and clothes were on sale for a while, since the agency could not cancel them.
In 2008, Christell appeared as a child actress on the TV channel Chilevisión, doing live theatre.
