Christian Argenti (born 3 January 1975) in Fitzroy in Victoria, Australia, is an Australian singer and radio presenter.
Argenti rose to prominence as lead singer of Australian band Invertigo who had the Australian ARIA chart hits "Desensitized" (June 2000) and "Chances Are" (November 2000) and the band's only album to date Forum (July 2001).
Invertigo signed a much publicised worldwide recording deal with the Atlantic recording label in the United States in 1999, but after receiving a disappointing response from American radio with "Desensitized" and only moderate success with "Chances Are", were dropped by the label in late 2001.
Christian Argenti left Invertigo in February 2003 and has worked as a songwriter and session vocalist since, with credits including the soundtrack for the 2006 Australian film BoyTown (starring Mick Molloy and Glenn Robbins) as well as a string of albums for Australian and overseas artists.
After a chance encounter with a radio program director at a function in Hobart in early 2007, Argenti was offered the host position of the drive show on Heart 107.3 in Hobart, Tasmania. The following day, Argenti debuted on radio and remained in that position until January 2009, when he moved to Melbourne to join Crocmedia as host of All Night Appetite on sports talk radio station 1116 SEN. Argenti remains a regular commentator and analyst on the station, generally covering football (soccer) and mixed martial arts.
In February 2010, Argenti was poached by Southern Cross Austereo to host the networked talkback show Talking Back the Night, broadcasting to 35 stations nationally on the broadcaster's LocalWorks network. In 2010 and 2011, he also hosted the national drive sports radio show 'The Home Straight' with former AFL player Peter 'Spida' Everitt and former NRL player Scott Sattler on the network across Australia.
