Christia Mantzke

The word most often used to describe Christia as a performer and musician is electric.As a singer/songwriter the Christia Mantzke Band appearances are designed to deliver a contrast of high voltage energetic alternative rock with the occasional raw journey into love and loss. The Music Connection Magazine calls her “a wild child with a genuine affection for her audience.”Born and raised in Los Angeles, Christia left for New York a scant week after High School Graduation. Shortly after arriving in New York she met the well-known club producer Ivan Salinas and it was their collaboration that produced the instant club hit with the remake of the 70’s song “There Go I.”Pleased with her reviews “Christia has powerhouse vocals,” she stayed true to her vision of alternative rock music, and continued to write and play out . After finding herself living without a home, she relocated to LA where her writing secured her a record contract with EMI-Europe.After charting in both France and Germany with her single hit “I’M NOT A BOY,” she returned to work on her debut independent release CD appropriately called THE FIRST.She is currently actively promoting her CD which METAL ROCK NEWS has called “raw, modern and very, very catchy…just superb.”
