Most recently, her original music has gained notice not only for pristine instrumental and vocal performance quality, but also for its compositional value. Custode was twice named "Buffalo’s Best Female Vocalist" (Artvoice "2010 Best of Buffalo" and “2011 Best of Buffalo”) and currently fronts a poprock trio. “Christina Custode and Rerun”
